Center for the Future of Management
Mission
The Center for the Future of Management draws from expertise in the Department of Management & Organizations to foster cutting-edge research on major shifts in the global business landscape, and the challenges and opportunities they present for business leaders, strategists and managers. Given the complexity and variety of these trends and issues, the center is comprised of a set of initiatives, each focused on understanding a distinct shift in the business environment and the associated dynamics, challenges, and opportunities related to that shift.
- The DHL Initiative on Globalization analyzes globalization data and generates research that informs managers, policymakers, and educators about shifts in globalization and the development of global trade, capital, information, and people flows.
- The Future of Work & Organizations Initiative is an interdisciplinary group of NYU faculty and students interested in understanding how technology, globalization, and other factors are changing the nature of work and organizations.
- The Strategic Management Initiative supports the development and dissemination of rigorous, evidence-based research and insights on emerging trends and novel challenges in strategic management, and on translating this research for a broader audience.
