I was browsing for some information on leading research and I found this about Manchester Metroplotitan University, my alma mater: "News and Events - MMU is conducting 'world leading' research in Business and Management, according to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise the major review of research at UK universities". Since I left the university many years ago, there have been a lot of changes to the structure of the university and the Business School in particular. There's a lot of renowned professors who are now with the MMUBS. The business school has form a Research Institute in Business Management (RIBM). I contacted one of RIBM's research director (Accounting & Finance) Professor David Leece for possible research collaboration and he is very positive about it. ARI members are encouraged to prepare research proposals through which our two entities can collaborate in the near future.
