We engage in a range of methodological approaches to research including both qualitative and quantitative methods.
Our interests are in providing holistic decision support and developing approaches to problem structuring, model development, data analysis, model inference and decision support.
We work with many areas, developing our methods to meet the needs of users with a variety of applications. In the UK we work with 15 other universities. We collaborate internationally with academics from 45 different universities.
Currently we're working on funded research projects with academics from each of the six other departments within Strathclyde Business School, as well as Engineering and Science.
