moreResearch
Research in corporate governance, boards, codes and institutional theory. I am especially interested in how philosophical perspectives can help us understand the complexity of governing organisations of various forms. My recent work has dealt with ethics and boards of directors, how aesthetics can help to explain board decision-making processes, and how political philosophy can inform how we understand the relationship between corporations and their investors.
Interested in inquiries for PhD supervision, especially qualitative studies of boards, investors, and the governance of inter-organisational collaboration.
