An active research program is the lifeblood of any academic department, and the Department of Management in the College of Business at Colorado State University is no different. Our faculty members are actively engaged in a diverse set of research areas and are published frequently in major business journals and professional publications.

Our faculty members often collaborate with each other on research in supply chain management, entrepreneurship, decision-making, global enterprise and many other management areas of interest. They also cross outside of University borders to national and even international partners to create new knowledge through discovery. Our students are the greatest beneficiaries of this new learning, as are the businesses that benefit from increased competencies derived from on-going research.
