Developing an environment for trade-relevant research

The application concerns continued support for a research environment with trade-relevant research at the Stockholm School of Economics. There is a long history of this support, which has been of great benefit to us and has produced good results in research. In recent years, the support has been provided with an amount intended to support 3 doctoral students and 2 postdocs, including expenses. First, we report how the previous year's grant was used. This is followed by a description of developments within four of the ongoing research programs and two separate projects. The programs covered are a) solution business, b) sustainable business, c) service innovation, d) international retailing. The two projects are a) Open boks, b) Pricing as an organizational issue. This is in line with the previous year. The review discusses who has received funding and what has been achieved. It also discusses some planned future projects. In cases where specific researchers are already involved, their names and the funds applied for are stated. In other cases, the type of people (doctoral students, PhD) who are intended to be involved.
