Business Research at Otago
Business research improves the health of New Zealand's economy, business practices, and international competitiveness. The University of Otago's School of Business conducts research in a wide range of disciplines, and assists in the development of business theory and the dissemination of research findings to the national and international business community.
If you are interested in research being undertaken at the School of Business or perhaps have a research project for a member of our staff, or student project then you may be interested in the following topics:

PBRF
The Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) is the Government funding mechanism for the tertiary education sector in New Zealand. Funding is allocated through the PBRF according to the quality of the research produced in each institution. The system takes into account the quality of researchers, research degree completions and external research income.
The second round of PBRF was held in 2006, with every Department in the School of Business building strongly on their results of the previous round in 2003. The School of Business proved once again to have exceptional strengths in Tourism and Economics research.
Further information on PBRF can be found on the University of Otago site.
