About

The TRSM research vision is to address societal need in Canada and globally in areas that range across digital transformation and digital enterprise, social innovation and entrepreneurship, sustainability and social responsibility, internationalization success of SMEs and diversity in organizations in many sectors including health, retail, hospitality and tourism sectors – to name but a few.

This array of research, combined with our solid ties to industry and community partners, fosters exciting opportunities for involvement in diverse areas of scholarship and practice, and advance management knowledge to make a difference at home and abroad. The research problems we tackle are inherently complex, and require broad research perspectives. To that end, TRSM researchers are thought leaders in management as well as areas not traditionally associated with business research, leading us to succeed in securing funding from all three Tri-Council agencies: SSHRC, NSERC, and CIHR.

Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU)’s Academic Plan challenges us to become a beacon of research excellence by increasing our SRC intensity and impact. Management research is either directly focused on, or supportive of, the strategic research themes and priority areas such as Technology & Intelligent Systems; Urban Innovation; Health & Well Being; Justice, Equity & Society; Work, Skills, Industry and Urban Innovation articulated in the university wide strategic research plan making us a key contributor to TMU’s overall goals.

TMU’s research impact has been on a steady growth trajectory as evidenced by the volume of publications and citations to TMU researchers’ work. TRSM aims to not only parallel, but surpass, the research performance of our university as a whole through our ever-growing body of research faculty, research centres and their partnerships.
