Consistently ranked in the top of management research centres in Europe, the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) has created an environment for the development of internationally recognised management knowledge with academic and societal impact since 1998.
ERIM researchers, a community of over 450 management scientists, are focused on the real needs of business and management, and dedicated to produce relevant and excellent research that adds innovative dimensions to management knowledge. ERIM combines publishing in leading academic journals with effective dissemination through research projects and advanced doctoral programmes in business and management for aspiring researchers. Where possible, research is created in conjunction with business.
In his dissertation 'Cooperation, Reliability, and Matching in Inland Freight Transport', Alberto Giudici explored inland container and bulk transport, which focused on the intercontinental journey connecting production areas to port, ports to warehouses, and the last-mile distribution. He theorised three solutions addressing the improvement of transport performance in terms of capacity, technology, and infrastructure.
In his dissertation 'Essays in Financial Accounting', Jeroen Koenraadt evaluated the current financial disclosure mechanisms in place, finding sub-optimal levels of quality brought forward through market frictions and an overly complex process. He explored ways financial disclosures can be improved and how regulation and discovery is perceived. His research contributes to a profound field that is constantly changing and under scrutiny.
