Cutting-edge research on issues ranging from gender diversity and securities fraud to mining, ethics and responsible investment will be showcased at the second Schulich Research Day taking place this Wednesday at York University’s Schulich School of Business.
Schulich is ranked among the world’s top business schools for its outstanding research. Corporate Knights magazine ranks Schulich one of the top three schools in the world for research in responsible business. And the 2014 Bloomberg Businessweek ranking rated Schulich among the top five schools in the world outside the United States for “Intellectual Capital”, which measures high-level research output.
