Registered with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Practitioner Occupational Psychologist, his research interests centre on the psychological foundations of strategic management. His most recent work has been concerned with the application of advances in the social neurosciences (social cognitive neuroscience and neuroeconomics) to the analysis of cognitive processes in strategic decision making and the evaluation of techniques for overcoming cognitive bias and inertia in such decisions. His current theoretical interests centre on the behavioural foundations of dynamic capabilities, especially the nature and role of conscious and non-conscious cognitive processes, emotion, and personality and individual differences in strategic adaptation.
The (co-)author of more than 150 scholarly publications, an earlier version of his 2011 article with his Manchester-based colleague Professor Mark Healey, on the psychological foundations of dynamic capabilities, which was published in Strategic Management Journal, won the Business Policy and Strategy Division’s Sumantra Ghoshal Research and Practice Award at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (Chicago, IL).
