Business education needs more scholar-practitioners to bring theory to life.
Education
BA (first class honours) University of Huddersfield, UK; M.S./Ph.D. Virginia Tech, USA. I've also taught at Victoria University of Technology (Australia) and Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (Europe).
Fields of Expertise
My main areas of expertise are entrepreneurship and sustainable business strategy/policy (the focus of my doctoral dissertation, defended in 1994). I have worked with Pillsbury LLP for six years, writing business and marketing plans for newly-patented technologies. I also served as Chief Strategy Officer and board member for two wind energy start-ups. I served on the board of AIDS Response Effort and the Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy Fund. Rosenstock-Huessy (1888-1973) was a professor of social philosophy at Dartmouth College, a pioneer in the field of voluntary service and an original thinker ahead of his time.
