Research enables SDA Bocconi to respond to the needs of companies and institutions.

The goal of SDA Bocconi is to combine the continuous evolution of scientific and academic culture with the practical need for in-depth analysis and updating for management specialists. This approach, which underlies SDA Bocconi's research activities, stems from the idea that knowledge plays a central role in the construction of competitiveness and quality, for both companies and public institutions. Access to knowledge is an essential element for innovation just as the constant renewal of knowledge is the key to processes of change and development.

This is the reason behind the vast, specialist scientific research conducted at SDA. Co-ordinated by the Claudio Dematté Research Division it aims to:

• provide public and private companies and institutions with the results and innovations stemming from the constant effort to generate and develop new knowledge
  
  
• enable SDA Bocconi to excel in the national and international context of management research
  
  
• support continuous innovation in the education programs that SDA Bocconi offers the market
