In addition to the research interests of individual faculty, Bentley also encourages and sponsors applied transdisciplinary research, emphasizing collaborative projects that involve faculty members across different academic departments and research streams that have the potential to significantly affect current practice. In conjunction with a Risk Management Research Program, BAESR also supports interdisciplinary research on governance, strategy and corporate integrity, and sponsors campus-wide panels and presentations on current issues. The Institute for Women in Leadership similarly sponsors collaborative research on women in the organizational world, the Cyberlaw Center stimulates research on the growing field of cyberstudies, and the Cronin International Center encourages work on global ethics and corporate responsibility issues through its Faculty Research Fellows Program. Finally, the Center for Business Ethics undertakes research – surveys, studies and data syntheses – of trends in business ethics, publishes a quarterly on-line magazine, Ethics Matters (available on request, without charge: cbeinfo@bentley.edu),  and publishes Business and Society Review in partnership with Blackwell Publishers.
