Research Trajectories

The Department’s research trajectories unfold across international and interdisciplinary landscapes, with the ambition of shaping a Centre of Excellence that attracts best practices and nurtures global partnerships spanning academia, industry, public administration, finance and the professional world. These research lines are designed to advance knowledge while generating tangible economic and social value, engaging with the pressing challenges of the Knowledge Society and the era of Digital Transformation. They take into account the dynamics of global market integration, the rise of sustainable economic paradigms and the disruptive innovations introduced by startups and forward-thinking SMEs, all of which are reshaping competitive landscapes and redefining product and process innovation. The Department’s research, teaching and knowledge transfer activities are anchored in three core trajectories, fostering continuous dialogue and collaboration through a cross-disciplinary and forward-looking approach. 

To access the publications of our department, we have activated the IRIS UniPegaso system, which is the institutional archive of the research of the Pegaso University, designed to collect, preserve and enhance the scientific production of the professors and researchers of the University. This tool allows to make the results of the research accessible and visible, promoting transparency, scientific dissemination and the impact on the territory and on the national and international academic community.
