Strategy Enterprise and Innovation Subject Group
Our world is changing at an incredible pace, fuelled by new technologies, innovative management structures and new ideas. The Strategy, Enterprise and Innovation (SEI) subject group equips students with the skills to develop ideas that strengthen organisations – from entrepreneurial start-ups to national governments – and help them grow.
We work with major organisations around the world, including the Royal Air Force (RAF) – and for the past 7 years, we've helped the RAF develop new leadership and technological strategies to deal with emerging threats.
The Strategy, Enterprise & Innovation subject group is part of the Portsmouth Business School, and sits within the University's Faculty of Business and Law.
