Research that matters

Our faculty are leading the way in developing analytical approaches to the complex challenges that really matter in people’s lives. Often highly collaborative, they use multiple perspectives and disciplinary lenses to find innovative insights.

Focus areas

Businesses and business skills are needed to tackle intractable problems.

Organizations can be run to the benefit of multiple stakeholders. Companies large and small can tackle social ills. Investors can direct resources to enterprises that make the economy greener and communities healthier.

We've been studying social impact since our founding.

Inequality protest

Our choices every day shape the world we live in.

Companies and organizations can have disproportionate impact through their interactions with customers, employees, and others they touch.

Our faculty have unique insight into behavioral science and its ever evolving implications for marketing, finance, and organizations and leadership.

Healthcare needs leaders who can transform the system to improve patient care.

Questions of funding and organizational structure can seem removed from the practice of medicine, but improving healthcare will require leaders who understand hard business skills—and have heart.

Yale SOM experts study all aspects of healthcare.

Doctor and patient

Markets need competition.

Well functioning markets produce benefits for consumers and efficiencies for society. But to ensure that happens we need deep understanding of markets and competition.

Our faculty study all aspects of competition and its impact on lives. The Thurman Arnold Project pulls together experts across Yale interested in improving antitrust enforcement.

Well-being is built on financial institutions.

SOM has a long history of considering the impact finance has on society. We have unique strengths in asset management, including a specialized degree program, and in the study of systemic risk and the prevention of financial crises.

Public education is a driver of opportunity, but our school systems are too often under-resourced and rife with inequity.

The Broad Center at Yale SOM is training leaders who can foster excellence in large urban school districts and strengthen their communities.
