Our projects focus on sustainable business models, globalisation and intercultural competencies.
Areas of research carried out at the centre:
Value chain optimisation
All businesses are part of a business network. These networks are increasingly global. Furthermore, businesses face new challenges and requirements from their network.
We do research on how businesses can manage and optimise their networks. Examples include how to develop sustainable business models when the organisation has several locations.
International sales and marketing management
In Denmark, 95% of all businesses are small and medium size enterprises (SME). However, a lot of the SMEs don’t export.
We work to find best practices among exporting businesses and spread this knowledge to the benefit of Danish export in general.
Language and intercultural competencies
Given globalisation and the increasing diversity in the workforce, cultural knowledge and effective intercultural communication skills are important in today’s business world. We analyse, map and develop internal and external communication platforms aimed at strengthening SMEs’ linguistic and cross-cultural strategies.
