Publications and Research Awards
My continuing interest lies in developing a critical, questioning analyses of diverse aspects of management. The interdisciplinary nature of my research orientation has allowed me to engage in joint work with a number of academics, nationally and internationally, who work in a variety of specialisms. These specialisms include organization studies, industrial sociology, accounting and information systems. I have worked on funded projects examining information and communication technologies (ESRC), remote distribution of financial services (ESRC), corporate strategy and management accounting (ICAEW), and changing organizational forms (ESRC). Most recently, I have been researching the area of corporate governance and contributing to policy formation processes in that area. I have edited books on such topical issues as gender, skill, quality management, business process reengineering, knowledge management and customer service. I have sought to disseminate my work to a wider audience by publishing in practitioner journals and in the national press..
My research interests fall into six main areas :
- organisation studies
- managerial work
- management education and learning
- accounting in organizations and society
- corporate governance
- social theory
