Biography
Prior to joining the Essex Business School in 2015, I worked as a research fellow at the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano, in Italy, at the Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, and as a visiting scholar at the Orfalea College of Business of California Polytechnic State University. I welcome inquiries from potential PhD students on a variety of topics, including, but not exclusively, collective creativity, creative climate, organisational learning mechanisms, organisational change, collaborative innovation.
