The Idea

The main idea of the SMA Research Lab is to gain a deeper understanding of the Strategy, Mergers & Acquisition phenomenon. Thus, we try to deliver a high class contribution to the scientific community with publications, conferences and speeches.

In our research activities we try to challenge and develop „top students" from Innsbruck University, MCI Management Center Innsbruck and other partner institutions with projects, Master- and PhD-theses.

For bridging theory and practice, we try to deliver a maximum of practice transfer through projects with companies and other organizations, studies and speeches. Our existing scientific and practice related network shall be further developed.
