“In line with the school's research policy, the research activities at ESCP Berlin combine scientific rigour with a high level of managerial relevance, to investigate up-to-date issues of companies, ranging from start-ups to large multinationals or non-profit.

Beyond theoretical developments, our application-oriented research is particularly intended to support organisational transformations.

We believe that research should be an integral part of our teaching activities as well. Future managers should apply theory and science to make meaningful and responsible decisions.

ESCP Business School Berlin currently has 15 chairs and 6 junior professorships as well as 5 research centres. The ESCP Faculty counts more than 140 professors.”
