Biography

My ongoing research interest from the outset has been the role of business in society, in particular the role of multi-national companies and large technological systems in national development. Lately, I have been writing about leadership in higher education and the role of universities in promoting innovation, and their social and environmental impacts.

I refer to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) in management sciences, but also to health and environmental economics literature. I have taught and published on environmental management and policy, cost benefit analysis, behavioural economics, climate change and strategic management in higher education, among other things in journals in various disciplines: humanities, economics, management sciences, humanities and engineering.
