Highlights
Chair groups belonging to the Section Business Science
Business Economics
Strategically placed within Wageningen UR, the Business Economics Group (BEC) performs research and teaches across a wide range of aspects of agricultural business economics and food supply chains.
Information Technology
INF's mission is to establish a bridge between the life sciences and the state of the art in information management and knowledge engineering. We want to make sure that state of the art concepts and tools from those fields are used in the application domains upon which our organisation focusses. Conversely, we wish to incorporate knowledge about our application domains into new concepts, tools, models and information systems that we develop.
Operations Research and Logistics
Our mission is to make contributions to the state of the art of Logistics Management and Operations Research to cope with contemporary complexity issues by developing innovative logistics concepts, decision support models and algorithms in the domains of Agribusiness & Food Supply Chains.
Business Management & Organisation
The Business Management & Organisation (BMO) group at Wageningen University & Research studies innovation and entrepreneurship in chains and networks, focusing on the agri-food industry. In a globalising world, where firms face major challenges related to, a.o., global warming, urbanisation and food security, we provide the knowledge and insights needed to internally organise and govern firms appropriately and for firms to effectively collaborate in chains and networks.
Marketing and Consumer Behaviour Group
The marketing and consumer behaviour group (MCB) carries out research focusing on marketing (management) and consumer behaviour issues related to food and agribusiness, and institutions interested in food and agriculture. We teach in various education programmes.
