| Introduction | Objectives | Partners | International Advisory Board |
The International Centre for Research in Organizational Discourse, Strategy and Change was launched in 2001 by four institutions - the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, King's College at the University of London, and McGill University. It has since grown to include the following institutional partners: the University of Melbourne; the University of Sydney; Cardiff University; Lund University; McGill University; Queen Mary at the University of London; Texas A&M University; the University of California; the University of Cambridge; the University of Colorado; and the University of Leicester. The Centre links international researchers who share an interest in developing and applying discourse methods in the study of organizations with the aim of building a critical mass in research expertise, facilitating cross-institutional research, providing a banner for new research initiatives, establishing contacts and support for doctoral students, and securing resources for workshops and other activities.
