Research and PhD Education in Business & Management

Amsterdam Business Research Institute

ABRI leverages its location in the midst of the business and financial district of Amsterdam – the Zuidas – to create valuable links between academia, business, and the local community.

The Amsterdam Business Research Institute (ABRI) was founded in 2009. ABRI’s mission is to promote excellence in knowledge creation and dissemination in business and organization studies across different academic and business communities. Its location close to Amsterdam’s Zuidas business district helps the institute to play a strategic societal role linking academia, business and the local community together. At ABRI, we believe that such a link is important if we are to see more sustainable and responsible business in the future.
