Research in Focus

pause_circle

As an internationally networked business school, the University of St.Gallen (HSG) is characterised by an integrative approach and a broad research spectrum.

The University of St.Gallen engages in forward-thinking research that addresses crucial societal, economic, and entrepreneurial phenomena, focusing on practical applications and impactful outcomes. In this way, societal challenges can be better understood and dealt with. In addition, research findings contribute to the development of new technologies, products and services that improve people's quality of life and strengthen the economy. By also raising critical questions and identifying alternative solutions, HSG research initiates a social and political debate that contributes to opinion forming and social progress.

To fulfil this social relevance, the University has always relied on highly practice-oriented research, often in cooperation with respected partners from the business world. Even though the individual research projects are located in different subject areas, they are united by the University's claim: to move from insight to impact through practice-oriented cutting-edge research. Here we present selected research projects from the HSG's diverse research landscape.
