Our annual Spotlight on Research reports highlight the research achievements of Schulich School of Business faculty members.

This year’s report (our 15^th edition!) covers research achievements from 2024 – a banner year for Schulich, its faculty, and its Research Office.

Our Spotlight on Research annual report provides a comprehensive overview of our faculty’s research, research grants and other research-related activities at the School. In addition to celebrating our faculty’s achievements, each Spotlight on Research contains several long-form pieces which illustrate why Schulich stands out as a globally respected academic research centre.

2024 Highlights

Our faculty secured a record $1.67 million in research funding - the highest amount in our School’s history – and submitted a record number of grant applications.
Our faculty’s dynamic research continues to be published widely in leading journals and is advancing knowledge in fields as diverse as climate finance and consumer behaviour to AI and equity in organizations. In fact, our school is #1 rated in Canada for both field-weighted citation impact and top-tier journal impact.
Our biennial Research Day brought together faculty from across disciplines to share their research in a series of lively academic panels and saw two faculty members recognized for their efforts with the Dean’s Research Impact Awards.
Our research office explored new avenues to promote and communicate our research to wider audiences, both in and out of academia, through the development of a quarterly research newsletter, promotion of academic publications via media releases and social posts and our new Research @ Schulich podcast.

The Way Forward

In The Way Forward Podcast, Professor Stephen Friedman shares concrete leadership, career and management ideas that go beyond tired, trite, buzzwords and concepts. Where some leadership podcasts focus on “what”, The Way Forward focuses on “how” by hearing from business leaders, big thinkers, and awesome organizational doers that do different and think different.
