Duke's research centers are vital links between academic inquiry and business practice. Each center is dedicated to deepening knowledge and improving business practices with a focus on a particular dimension of business. The centers draw on faculty from across Fuqua's academic areas, experienced practitioners, and students to address current business problems with rigorous research.
Through academic inquiry and engagement with business, these hubs of research create insights, dialog and curricula that change the course of business and enrich the Duke student experience.
