The Enterprise Research Centre in UoG focuses on the design, development and analysis of new processes and systems for effective innovation.
Research projects model real world dynamic systems to gain a deep insight into how organisations effectively manage their innovative efforts. Therefore we work closely with industry to identify and prioritise requirements, co-develop solutions and implement and validate new models and systems. A systems ethos which includes people, process and technology related issues are employed in the research.
The research area is multidisciplinary in nature and spans functions such as engineering, technology and business.
