Research Centers

The Research Centers at Smeal offer a world-class resource for knowledge creation. Our corporate partners bring us their most pressing business concerns in areas such as supply chain management, business-to-business marketing, and entrepreneurship. We then assemble a community of leading researchers from Smeal, Penn State, and other institutions, as well as senior executives from sponsor companies and government organizations, to address these challenges.

There is no limit to the amount of hands-on, practical project experience you can gain through working with our research centers as a MBA student. Work side by side with faculty members on the actual research projects that are guiding businesses today. The Research Centers at Smeal include:

The Center for Digital Transformation

The Center for Global Business Studies

The Center for the Management of Technological and Organizational Change

The Center for Supply Chain Research

The Farrell Center for Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The Institute for the Study of Business Markets
