Research at Essex Business School

Professor Teeven Soobaroyen presents to an accounting seminar in Essex Business School.

Research that makes a global impact

Our academics push the boundaries of knowledge to help organisations and society innovate and thrive. They undertake theoretical and applied research that investigates important problems facing business, the public sector, not-for-profits and the wider world.

Their work challenges inequality and business injustices, such as gender prejudice, and explores important areas like accounting in emerging economies and behavioural finance. They examine issues at local, national and international levels and their work is informed by a wide range of social science theories.

Our research groups

Our research and academic structure is focused around five key themes.  Building upon our core strengths, these themes provide the focus of our research groups.

A ball point pen and calculator on a business balance sheet.
Accounting
British pound sterling bank notes and coins.
Finance
A group of young men and women shaking hands in a business meeting.
Management and Marketing
A young entrepreneur sticking post it notes onto a concrete wall.
Management Science and Entrepreneurship
A crowd of commuters during business rush hour.
