CCX’s mission is to position SMU as a university that collaborates closely with industry to foster mutually beneficial partnerships that enhance management learning. Serving as a conduit between management theory and real-world business practice, the Centre enables academic research to be transformed into practical insights that resonate with both scholarly and general audiences.
