About Management at LSE
In 2006 a new era was born at the LSE with the creation of the university's first Department of Management. The history of management teaching and research at LSE, however, is a slightly longer one. The Interdisciplinary Institute of Management (IIM) was established in October 1990, specifically to promote teaching and research into management. It was explicitly interdisciplinary; and its teaching and research drew heavily upon the established strengths in the social sciences at the School. It focused on the critical study of Management, emphasising the role which the application of theory could play in practical affairs, and was intended to be an intellectually demanding, broad preparation for management. In addition to a successful research programme, the IIM had been successful at building a leading teaching programme for the study of Management. Each year the Times Survey of Management Teaching identified the LSE Interdisciplinary Institute of Management as providing amongst the best Management teaching in the country.
The IIM ceased formal operation in 2006 when it officially became the Managerial Economics and Strategy Group and affiliated itself with the new Department of Management (DOM). Management became a full LSE department on the 1st of August 2006. DOM is expected to expand substantially over the next decade. The department is federal in nature and currently unites three former departments and one institute (the aforementioned IIM). Each entity now constitutes a group within the federal department.
These groups include the following:
-
The Employment Relations and Organisational Behaviour Group is one of the foremost centres in the world for the study of employment relations and human resource management, and more recently, organisational behaviour, with its courses informed by the latest advances in the field and reflective of the international orientation of the School.
-
The Information Systems Group at LSE is one of the largest of its kind, covering most areas of information systems and representing a range of academic approaches and specialisations, from systems design and management to theory and philosophy.
-
The Managerial Economics and Strategy Group (formerly the Interdisciplinary Institute of Management) promotes the teaching of and research into management from a social science perspective, attracting a cosmopolitan student body of future leaders of organisations.
-
Operational Research has been taught at LSE for over 50 years and continues to provide excellence in its field.
The Summer School Management courses reflect the strengths of this new federated Department of Management. They are designed to cultivate both a theoretical and practical interest in the problems of Management and have a strong International dimension where appropriate. They aim to provoke and develop lively debates and reflect the socially critical ethos of the LSE. The courses are not primarily concerned with imparting specific management 'tools' but in developing an awareness of how various managerial theories and the social sciences generally, can help in broadening our understanding of managerial practices as well as the role of management in modern society.
