The Louvain Research Institute in Management and Organizations (LouRIM)鈥檚 mission is to create knowledge on individual and collective sustainability-oriented management processes and decisions.聽 It is devoted to theoretical and applied studies in management including, but not limited to, research on internal and external functional management processes relative to individuals, but also public and private, for and not-for-profit organizations. Management by itself is characterized by its multiple facets, dynamics and interdependence with resource, process and product development. The science of management requires thus multiple approaches in terms of functional orientation, research methodology and focus. This is why the Institute mobilizes researchers from the fields of (applied) economics, information system science, psychology and sociology, 鈥�, to address management questions of societal and economic relevance.
The Institute enables creative and high-impact research and effective doctoral training that attracts external financing. Open to disciplinary excellence in related areas, the Institute also has many associate members and collaborates with other institutes such as IACCHOS, ICTEAM, LIDAM and ISPOLE.
