About the School of Business and Management, and the Department of 
Business and Society

The School of Business and Management is one of the eight schools in the 
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The School has been 
undergoing a period of rapid growth, almost doubling our number of 
academic staff over the last five years and set to grow even further. We 
presently have 121 permanent academic staff and a large team of Teaching 
Fellows and TAs. We have over 2,000 undergraduate business studies 
students and, at the post-graduate level, approximately 1,000 MSc 
students and a well-established doctoral programme of around 80 students.

SBM’s core purpose is to promote social justice, sustainability, and 
good governance in the management of private, public and voluntary 
organisations through our research and education. We are a distinctive 
School that takes a humanities and social science-led approach to our 
scholarship and are now the largest school within QMUL’s Faculty of 
Humanities and Social Sciences, with its traditional strengths as a site 
of critical thinking in the humanities, law, history, geography, and 
politics.

The Department of Business and Society contributes to SBM through world 
leading teaching and research in the areas of global value chains (and 
the relationship between the Global North and the Global South), 
business ethics, CSR, public management and institutions, social 
entrepreneurship, and social innovation (in the local and global 
contexts), organization theory, critical management, cultural and 
creative industries and business law. Our focus on the relationship 
between businesses, society, sustainability, and social justice shapes 
the teaching and research environment of the Department of Business and 
Society. Department members are typically (but not exclusively) 
associated with the Research Centre on Labour, Sustainability and Global 
Production, the Public Management and Regulation Group and the 
Organisational Processes and Practices Research Group. As such, the 
Department examines business as a field of enquiry in its own right – an 
area to be subject to critical analysis in the broader context of the 
relationship between business and society.
