INSEAD’s faculty excel in developing research that inspires, supports and challenges business leaders across industries. In an open and collaborative intellectual environment, our culturally diverse academics stand at the frontiers of new knowledge creation that is both rigorous and relevant but also a driving force for change in business and society. Through our research and teaching, we contribute to our school’s vision to make business a force for good.

Our award winning faculty from 41 countries spans a range of disciplines from organisational behaviour and leadership to finance and economics.

At INSEAD we pride ourselves on the rigour and relevance of our research. Whether it is academic publications, books, cases, or practitioner-oriented publications, we strive for the highest quality and impact. We produce research that brings new ideas and new knowledge to the world, underpinning pedagogy that is useful to business leaders.

Supported by our strong links with the international business community, our research also benefits from real world testing, feedback and application, creating a powerful academic flywheel. We conduct research in an environment that nurtures intellectual exploration and knowledge creation. We disseminate our research through our teaching and engagement with the world.
