Panel 7 – ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT (LUSEM)
10.5 Research activity and teaching
The unit’s activities include the running of a 2-year interdisciplinary
master’s programme, from which many students continue for Ph.D.
studies in European universities. Publications produced by researchers at
the unit are used as course literature. The connection between research
and teaching seems to be good.
10.6 Future Plans
Working together with departments at Lund University, the Centre
intends to develop jointly tutored and taught Ph.D. programs. The
dynamic growth of East and South-East Asia, and particularly China
offer enormous possibilities for research.
10.7 Future potential and possibilities
The Centre hopes to develop into the leading interdisciplinary centre for
research in the field in Scandinavia.

Overall assessment
Evaluation of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research is always
challenging compared to research in a single subject, but it is made
much more problematic when inadequate and insufficient information is
supplied. The Centre appears to undertake substantial research though
it is hard to comment on the quality. The international and national
collaboration and entrepreneurship of the Centre is easier to assess and is
excellent.
