Areas of Research Focus and Groups
Curtin Business School's funding programs enhance and strengthen research performance for several areas of research focus and research groups.
The Research Areas have a membership of active researchers with an established publishing record and a national or international research profile. Each area has a research plan for the next three years, which includes recruiting PhD students and encouraging new researchers to participate in their programs.
The Research Groups all have a high level of relevance to business and/or government.
