Research Strategy & Orientation

Research constitutes a core pillar of the academic and social mission of the Department of Business Administration. In an environment of constant change, the Department develops scientifically grounded and applied research, aiming to generate knowledge that contributes to innovation, sustainability, and the enhancement of organizational competitiveness.

The Department’s research orientation focuses on contemporary issues in management and economics, employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and collaborations with academic institutions and external stakeholders in Greece and abroad. At the same time, particular emphasis is placed on linking research activities to the needs of island and regional development, through initiatives that strengthen the social and economic ecosystem of the Aegean region.

Through the research activity of its faculty members and collaborators, the Department seeks to produce outcomes with international impact, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to society and the business community, and to support student education within an environment that fosters critical thinking and innovation.
