Key Activities

The work of the Centre for New Technologies, Innovation and Entrepreneurship comprises four activities:

1. Original research, publication and dissemination of findings, including academic workshops and conferences.

2. Seminars, conferences and short courses for sponsors and City institutions.

3. Development of case studies and learning materials for taught programmes at City University London/Cass Business School, including the City MBA and MSc in Management.

4. Approved consultancy projects.

Dissemination of useful research and impact on business practice is vital. To this end, we seek to build close links with sponsors. Over the years, we have completed many projects for a variety of sponsors. In the same way, we aim to become a focus and outlet for enterprise initiative for our postgraduate student population and alumni.

The Centre has many international links with researchers elsewhere in Europe and across the world for the purposes of international comparative research, large-scale projects, and global dissemination.

Long Range Planning Journal (LRP)

Professor Charles Baden-Fuller is Editor-in-Chief of Long Range Planning, a leading journal bridging academia and practice in the field of Management and Strategy. The journal is published by Elsevier six times a year, and has one of the highest readerships of any academic publication (more than 180,000 downloads of articles in 2006). LRP is ranked fifth in Europe and 30th in the world among academic journals in the field of management (ISI Thompson citation score 2006).

International Strategy Workshops

Since 2004, Charles Baden-Fuller (Cass) with Vincent Mangematin (Cass and Grenoble) and Simone Ferriani (Cass and Bologna) have led a series of bi-annual international research workshops at Cass, of invited scholars in the field of strategy. At each two-day workshop in Spring and Autumn, around 25 young and senior scholars present papers and engage in extended discussion to test concepts, present empirical analysis, and brain-storm ideas on knowledge management issues in strategy. The aim is to weld new conceptual thinking with contextualised empirical work.

Workshop participants included - UK (Cass, London Business School, LSE, Warwick, Imperial, Judge Cambridge, Said Oxford; Sussex-SPRU; Lancaster;); France (Grenoble, HEC, ESSEC, Paris Dauphine); Germany (Kaiserslautern); Italy (Catania, Bologna, Bocconi; Bolzano); Netherlands (Utrecht; Rotterdam); USA (Wharton School, Georgetown, Boston University, Case Western); Ireland (UCD); Canada (Ivey-Queens).
