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 indexes journal articles, case studies, working papers, books and book chapters, and white papers published by GSB faculty members from 2000 to the present. Output from the Corporate Governance Research Initiative, the Corporations and Society Initiative, and the Value Chain Innovation Initiative is also included.

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-2000 articles and other content.
