Seminars

Strategy Research Colloquium (SRC)

The Strategy Research Colloquia is a venue for strategy researchers, doctoral students, and faculty as well as industry and public sector strategists to participate and present research and draft manuscripts intended for journal submissions in the domain of strategy. It is organized by the Institute of Strategy at Aalto University, School of Science and Technology. In the seminar, researchers and doctoral students introduce their on-going studies and conceptual works thus bringing the research edge in strategy into discussion and debate. The papers and presentations potentially offer insights to a variety of subjects including outside-mainstream research such as business and society, and post-modern organization theory. Overall, the seminars' contribution is to bring together a society of researchers and students to discuss topical issues and stimulate research in the broad domain of strategy. For doctoral students, presentation of a full paper results in 5 credit points (TU-91.3008).
