Applied Research at
HM Business School
For us, Applied Research primarily involves examining current research topics and findings to assess their applicability in business and organisational practice, and adapting them in order to develop innovative business models and derive appropriate organisational structures for these.
Our research projects are carried out not only in traditional teaching and research centres, but also within research groups. These projects may be assigned to various research topics, resulting in a matrix structure that particularly characterises the multidimensional and interdisciplinary nature of our research.

Thanks to our Professors, research staff members, doctoral candidates and students – all of whom form part of our research team – we draw on expertise from a wide range of subject areas. We make targeted use of our structure to examine research topics from different perspectives and to raise and develop new questions. To this end, we collaborate with industry and research partners worldwide.
