Meet the Faculty
As a top UK business school our academics are leaders in their fields. See below for a summary of the interests of the faculty who teach on the programme.
 |
Director of Studies, Professorial Fellow in Technology Management - Chair for Technology Management I am Director of Studies for the MSc in Innovation & Technology Management. My career began in the UK automotive and aerospace industries in the 1960’s. I then spent a decade in Grand Prix racing, before moving into academia where I subsequently became Co-Director of MIT's "International Motor Vehicle Programme" which pioneered Lean Production techniques and produced the seminal work "The Machine that Changed the World". I now direct various global research programmes into Lean Production Techniques and Supply Chain Management, which aim to disseminate good practices pioneered in the Automotive Industry across other sectors. |
Dr Steve Cayzer
 |
Course Tutor, Department of Mechanical Engineering I am the course tutor for the MSc in Innovation and Technology Management. My interests include knowledge management in engineering design and sustainable development. Before coming to Bath, I spent almost a decade in Hewlett-Packard Laboratories working on emerging web technologies, biologically inspired computing and sustainability strategy. My teaching on the MSc covers innovation, knowledge management, sustainability and risk, with a particular focus on the IT industry. |
Professor Paul Maropoulos
 |
Professor of Innovative Manufacturing, Department of Mechanical Engineering I am Professor of Innovative Manufacturing and Director of the Global Digital Enterprise Research Laboratory based within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I lead the module ‘International Networks for Production, Service and Logistics’ which explores technologies and methods relating to the definition, operation and management of distributed and collaborative production, service and logistics activities within international networks. |
Professor Mike Lewis
 |
Professor in Supply Strategy I lead the module ‘Technology Strategy and Organization’ in Semester 2. My current research interests include technology strategy, the practical and reputational implications of technological, operational and supply failure (e.g. vehicle safety recalls) and the procurement of complex technological systems. |
Professor Paul Goodwin
 |
Professor of Management Science, School of Management I lead the module ‘Decision Analysis’ in semester 1 which investigates how individuals and groups make decisions relating to technology and innovation and how these decisions can be improved. My research is aimed at enhancing the role of management judgment in forecasting and decision making through better processes and improved software design. |
Professor Christine Harland
 |
Professor in Supply Management, School of Management I am Director of the School of Management’s Centre for Research in Strategic Purchasing and Supply (CRiSPS) - the largest research centre in strategic purchasing and supply in Europe. My research deals with the development of the concept of supply strategy, particularly in complex confederal public sector networks. Students will be given the opportunity to study projects related to these research activities during their dissertation. |
