Alongside a distinctive track record for high-quality research from all our disciplines — including management, economics, finance, accounting and marketing — we also have a strong record of impact and engagement, including many successful collaborations with non-academic partners from industry and government. Specifically, we collaborate with industry-based business experts to provide evidence-based research insights as solutions to a wide range of business challenges and problems.
UTS Business’s impactful research capabilities include market assessment, business model innovation, design-led innovation, supply chain management, behavioural and experimental economics, applied econometrics, market design, health economics, choice modelling and public policy analysis.
