The world faces unprecedented economic,
societal, organisational and management
challenges in the 21st century. Reflecting the
increasing importance of emerging markets as
a focus for growth and investment in the global
economy, the University offers a range of
in-depth expertise on business, government,
law and cultures in emerging markets.
Much resides in the University of Liverpool
Management School, whose primary research
focuses on growing enterprises, growing
innovation and growing communities and
regions. These are mutually reinforcing and
of great importance to the business world.
Central to this focus is the desire to ‘prepare
leaders for tomorrow’s challenges’.
A real strength of the University is its ability to
take ideas developed in one sector, such as
manufacturing, and creatively apply these in
very different sectors – for example, applying a
lean and agile philosophy and toolkit developed
for the manufacturing sector to social care and
health management.
