Publishing activities

"Venice School of Management - Working Papers" is the series through which the School presents ongoing research in preliminary form. These series aim to share outcomes and new research ideas before the final publication so as to contribute to national and international academic discussion in a timely manner.
Research dissemination
Our interdisciplinary approach, combined with our desire to have a positive impact on societal issues, provides a vibrant environment for researchers to grow and innovate. Students benefit from our research excellence in many situations: during classes, by facing real-life challenges, insights and practical application.
To reinforce the 'social' dimension of our research, the School involves residents and the general public in many initiatives aimed at promoting public understanding of management, participation in policy-making processes, and a sense of belonging to the cultural and social development of the local community.
We believe in the importance of sharing, disseminating and promoting our research and its outcomes, in order to ensure both relevance and practical application. Our goal is to develop and grow a strong and effective dissemination approach that involves both the academic and non-academic world. We do that through publications, conferences, lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and more.
Furthermore, Venice School of Management fosters the economic valorisation of scientific and technological research activities by developing appropriate organisational strategies and models to encourage and support the creation of new patents, the launch of innovative business ideas and the development of strong partnerships with local authorities and national as well as international companies.

Research Day
Venice School of Management has been organising the Research Day, which is an annual event dedicated to the theoretical and applied research carried out by the School’s Labs and Centres. The idea of the Research Day is based on the fact that the School is home to top faculty, who brings groundbreaking expertise and innovative approaches to research, and is able to examine a broad spectrum of business, policy, and societal and economic issues.
Indeed, the presentation of research results is done directly by the faculty and the researchers of the School, in conversation with innovative business minds who belong to the world of business or who are part of Academia.

VSM Lectures
The School offers the chance to attend VSM Lectures. These are a series of seminars on the latest insights of management studies, given by top scholars from international universities and institutions, who are invited to present their research, related results, and impact on societal issues.
The Management Lectures series takes place on an annual basis, typically once a month between January and June. These Lectures are a part of our PhD programme.
