Professor David Park, Dean of Nottingham University Business School, UK said:

“Research is at the forefront of what we do, collaborating across our three campuses to approach key local and global issues to develop responsible and impactful solutions. I recently had the pleasure of visiting our Chinese and Malaysian colleagues to celebrate 25 years of Nottingham University Business School, which also enabled me to hear more about our tri-campus research activities and partnerships. As I reflect on what we have already achieved, I look to the future with confidence that our joint efforts can make meaningful steps to have a positive influence on major global issues.”
