Research Centres
New research into ever-changing issues, techniques and trends is crucial to developing well-structured and forward-thinking organizations.
SFU Business has three new research centres led by senior faculty, which investigate new knowledge and information related to today's business practices. These centres are the result of the direct involvement of the business community in supporting research at SFU Business.
The Learning Strategies Group (LSG) collaborates closely with these centres to help provide their clients with particular programming needs and high level customization in the design of strategic learning solutions.
