Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Centre for Business Economics and Strategic Management

http://www.vub.ac.be/BEDR

The Centre focuses on the multidimensional nature of firm level entrepreneurship and strategy. A first area of expertise relates to the interactions between government and business. Government, as the regulatory stakeholder, to a large extent influences firm level strategic decision making. As a result, business leaders need to develop strategies, reacting to changes in their firms’ external environment (new regulation, trade liberalization etc.).
