These experiences provide students with opportunities to develop and practice leadership and to make a difference.

Faculty members of the Department pursue research excellence. They have developed and published a noteworthy number of quality research articles in leading management journals in the areas of organizational behaviour, human resource management, and entrepreneurship.
