Who we are

The Advanced Institute of Management Research was established in 2002 in order to increase the contribution of world class UK management research.

AIM is led by its Director, Professor Robin Wensley of Warwick Business School and Deputy Director, Professor Andy Neely of Cambridge University and Cranfield School of Management. Financial support is provided by both the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

AIM researchers are all leaders in their fields drawn from a wide variety of universities in both the UK and overseas. AIM's research explores issues associated with four main themes: Sustained Innovation, Promising Practices, Services and Productivity and Performance. This research is designed both to shed new light on challenges facing the UK and to inform practitioners and public policy debates.
