Professor Andrew Millington
 |
Andrew Millington has researched widely into the relationships between business and society. His current work focuses on two discrete but related projects. First, the motivation and management of corporate social performance; key themes in this project emphasize the role of organisational characteristics, corporate strategy, stakeholder pressures, and industry conditions as stimulants of corporate social performance and its organisation and management within the corporation. Second, the interface between the cultural and institutional environment in China and the Chinese operations of UK and US firms. Key issues include the relationships between ethical conduct and guanxi in different business contexts and the impact of institutional and cultural factors on the management of relationships within and between organisations in China. He has obtained funding from the EPSRC, the ESRC, the European Commission, the DTI and the Welsh Office and has published in leading management journals including the Journal of International Business Studies, Management International Review, Business and Society, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Management Studies and the Cambridge Journal of Economics. PhD Supervision Professor Andrew Millington welcomes enquiries from potential PhD students in the broad area of business and society. He is particularly interested in enquiries from students interested in philanthropy, corporate community involvement, environmental and social supply chain management. Candidates should have a disciplinary background in economics, psychology, or sociology and be able to demonstrate that they have a sound understanding of quantitative/qualitative methods. |
