Research@SMU: Connecting the dots

About the book

The word “Management” in the name of our university was carefully and deliberately chosen to address the needs of institutions and decisionmakers across all segments of society: business enterprises and the private sector, government and the public sector, and civil society and the people sector. 

Unless you are already familiar with the breadth and depth of research output from Singapore Management University (SMU), you would naturally assume that we were a “management” university that was focusing exclusively on business – in essence, a large business school. The reality is quite different.

Through this book, you will gain a more complete understanding of the research dimension of SMU. You will see how we have grown, since our founding in the year 2000, into a university focused on Management, Social Sciences, and Technology, and their intersections.

We hope you’ll enjoy reading this book as much as we enjoyed creating it.
