These include positivist, interpretive and critical theoretical approaches, across operational research, forecasting, information systems, supply chain management and operations management. The department is involved in research-based programmes including an EPSRC-funded Doctoral Training Centre in operations research (STOR-i).
The Forecasting and Operational research groups are involved in various masters and undergraduate programmes related to business analytics and broader business management programmes at UG, PG and post-experience levels. The groups collaborate with researchers in other departments/faculties at Lancaster University, including through a number of research centres such as the: Centre for Marketing Analytics & Forecasting; Centre for Health Futures; the Centre for Transport & Logistics.
