About us

A world-leading centre for research and education in business and management.

We sit at the heart of a leading social science institution, giving our teaching and research a real world context in the social, economic and political environment across the globe.

Vision

Our vision is to create a better world where a profound understanding of management drives positive change in business and society.

Mission

Our mission is to inform and inspire better management in practice by challenging and extending the understanding of people, teams, organisations and markets, and the economic, psychological, social, political and technological contexts in which they operate worldwide. 

From our setting in a world-class social science institution at the heart of a leading global city, we achieve our mission by producing original and robust research insights, and delivering high-quality, evidence-based education.

We are proud to be part of LSE, an institution that ranks #5 in the world for social sciences and management (QS World University Rankings 2023) and #2 in the UK by percentage of overall four and three star in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021).

We engage with people and organisations worldwide, across the private, public, and third sectors, who are motivated to improve the world through better understanding and practice of management.

 

The LSE advantage

Our location within a world-class social science institution at the heart of a leading global city makes us unique among other management and business schools. This position gives us the unparalleled capability to deliver research and education which advance the frontiers of understanding in management through an integrated view of the economic, psychological, social, political and technological contexts in which people, teams, organisations and markets operate worldwide.
