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.
Education
Chains and Networks is the overall research theme of the Business Management & Organisation group. Under this umbrella, several subthemes have been distinguished.
Our Research
Central in our research program is the quest for understanding and managing the rapidly developing international chains and networks, with a special focus on innovation, governance and sustainability. We concentrate on the life sciences at large and the agri-food industry in particular. The life sciences aim at the improvement of the quality of life from a health and nutritional perspective. They include the food and agribusiness companies, and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.
Research Seminars
Weekly held online every Thursday at 12:00.
