Dr Stefan Hoejmose

Director of Studies, Lecturer in CSR and Strategy

My research is concerned with strategic management and the role of business strategy in shaping firms’ social and environmental initiatives within global supply chains.

I am also looking at the role of trust and collaboration in implementing responsible supply chain practices, and I recently undertook a NBS funded systematic review of the literature to examine how firms can implement, ensure and monitor responsible practices, in particular with a focus on how these activities differs between developed and developing countries.

In addition, my current research interest lies in the area of environmental management and SMEs, and the influence of unionization on corporate social performance.

Dr Peter Nuttall

Lecturer in Marketing

My work considers the consumer behaviour and practices of adolescents. My research has included adolescent expression of self in the context of music consumption, the social environment and its relevance for adolescent choice and use of music and more recently I have explored elective identity and commitment to practice within social groups. Employing innovative research methods to generate greater insight into adolescent behaviour is key to my research. Current projects include Style and Subculture: This project examines small social groups organised around shared fashion and music to understand how those in emerging adulthood ‘practice’ being part of a group. This study considers not only how an individual self project is assembled but the way in which the practice of being part of a social group can be viewed as credible or authentic by others. Ritual Practices: This project focuses on adolescent experiences of the high school prom and considers the ‘globalisation’ of this ritual event
