Stanford GSB Faculty Publications

The Faculty Publications collection allows you to explore a growing corpus of GSB research in one place, with the ability to perform searches by title, author, abstract, supplied keywords, and (when available) full text. The collection includes links to all available journal articles dating back to 2012, and we have added case studies, working papers, books and book chapters, and white papers published since 2023. Output from the Corporate Governance Research Initiative, the Corporations and Society Initiative, and the Value Chain Innovation Initiative is also included.

The collection’s scope currently encompasses:

Journal Articles - 2012 to present
Working Papers - 2023 to present
Books - 2023 to present
Case Studies - 2023 to present

This collection will grow over time as new publications are continually added, additional Research Hub Labs and Initiatives are incorporated, and librarians add entries for pre-2012 articles and other content.
