Business School launches new research centres

12 September 2003

 

Alan Clarke, Chief Executive of One NorthEast, will officially launch three new Research Centres at the University of Teesside on Monday 15 September, 5.30pm in the Europa Building, Woodlands Road, Middlesbrough (and NOT the Clarendon Building as originally planned).

The Centres, based in Teesside Business School, are:

  • Centre for Entrepreneurship and SME (Small and Medium Sized Enterprise) Development, led by Ted Fuller, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Strategic Foresight.
  • Centre for Leadership and Organisational Change, led by Paul Iles, Professor of Strategic Human Resource Management
  • Centre for Public Services Management, led by Alan Doig, Professor of Public Services Management.

After a reception with music provided by jazz quartet the Noel Dennis Band, Alan Clarke will speak at 6.30pm, followed by brief descriptions of their work from each of the three Professors in charge of the new Centres. Vice-Chancellor, Professor Graham Henderson, will also outline the University’s research strategy.

Dr Alan Lawton, Teesside Business School’s Assistant Director (Research), said: “The Centres are very much in tune with the Government’s thinking of the transference leading edge research from the academic community to the business community.”

One example of a current project is a £97,000 contract to complete research for the Standards Board for England. (See release ‘Town hall ‘corruption’ - can it be monitored and controlled?)
