My profile

Biography

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Sustainability at the Department of Strategy Enterprise Sustainability at Manchester Metropolitan University. I joined MMU in November 2022. Prior to this role, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Aalto University, School of Business in Finland. There, I worked on a project called Finix and conducted postdoctoral research on innovation ecosystems and industrial clusters that contribute to circular economy and sustainability. I conducted my doctoral research and studies at the Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester where I researched partnerships and strategic alliances in the context of corporate sustainability and their role in contributing towards sustainable development goals. 

Interests and expertise

My research is focused on corporate sustainability and corporate social responsibility. I am interested in inter-organisational relationships and I focus on various inter-organisational relationships including collaborations, strategic alliances, partnerships, innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems, industrial clusters in the context of sustainability and circular economy. 

I enjoy engaging with different theoretical perspectives. These include absorptive capacity, dynamic capabilities and resource-based view, inter-organisational learning, framing, frames and organisational cognition, tensions and paradoxes. More recently, I have engaged in institutional, sociology and psychology literature on places and spaces, again in the context of sustainability issues. 

I have published in various journals such as International Journal of Management Reviews, Business Strategy and the Environment, Journal of Business Ethics, and Sustainability.
