Welcome
Welcome to the Salford Business School blog, a place where business and the community meets academia. It is a supportive environment of academic curiosity and exploration, which embraces innovation and business collaboration. Together we can exploit and explore new opportunities by delivering innovation through research and knowledge exchange.
We post items in three main categories: news, expert comment and our meet the expert series, through which we profile our expert voices within the School, plus collaborate with businesses on joint content, demonstrating how we work in partnership for success. Content also encompasses our growing portfolio of podcasts which includes:
- Business Disrupted
- HR Unpacked
- Innovation in Financial Inclusion
- Talking COP
- Spotlight: In Conversation with…
- Belonging in a Business School: Life at Salford
