Essex Business School Management and Marketing professors sit together in discussion.

We’re not just about driving profit for big business

Management encompasses so much of what a business is about, it looks at people, processes, change and impact, as well as the bottom line. Marketing isn’t just glitter and gimmicks, it’s at the heart of every organisation.

Our research in management and marketing aims to understand the role of the consumer, the value of the employee and the importance of responsible management practices. We’re independent thinkers and drivers of change.

Here’s just some of the topics we explore:

  • organisational behaviour
  • business ethics
  • historical aspects of management
  • corporate marketing and corporate communication
  • business model innovation
  • intersectionality

Dr James Fowler, Lecturer at Essex Business School, has recently published research into the ways that commuting on the London Underground has, or hasn’t, changed in over the past century. By digging into the available data he has focused on understanding how the customer experience, rather than the organisation’s internal operations, has been affected by change. Analysis like this helps organisations to understand their customers and to compete against the competition.
