Research groups within the School of Service Management:
Centre for Tourism Policy Studies (CENTOPS)
Predicated on the growing acknowledgement that natural and cultural environments are finite resources, CENTOPS was founded by Professor Peter M Burns in 2001 to undertake empirical, reflective and applied research into the links between Tourism, Society and Culture.
Retail and Consumer Studies Group (RCSG)
The RCSG was established in 2004 by Chris Dutton and Harvey Ells in response to the School of Service Management’s growing research capability in the field of retail operations, marketing and consumer studies.
Hospitality Research
The Brighton Hospitality Research Group was created in the summer of 2011 in order to consolidate our group members' research and consultancy in Culture, People and Performance; Food, Management and Wellbeing; The Consumer; and Pedagogy.
