Research Interests

My research looks into why things go wrong. I look at why individual and organizational assessments lead to inapt decisions and undesired results, to what extent do industrial and institutional conditions lead our efforts failing to work as intended and how do we fail with environmental efforts. Lessons learned from such research suggest ways future efforts can increase our chances for successful outcomes. All my research is approached with these questions:  What can go wrong with the way a process is managed?  What can we learn from these mistakes?  Specifically, my research falls into the categories listed below:

Empirical research strategies to promote long-term corp. survival and avoid failure.

Investigation into business ethics, moral failure and personal moral development.

Enquiry into how external forces impact changes in corporate governance structures.

Investigation into how stupidity manifests itself in individuals and impacts organizations.

Teaching Interests

I tell my students that you can get two things from university: education and schooling. Education is the theoretical background. Schooling is the practical tools one can employ in their lives. I try to focus on the schooling. This does not mean my students do not get exposed to theory, but I get them to apply. With casework, I get them to arrive at logical ways to address underlying management problems an organization faces, rather than surface symptoms. I also prompt for alternative solutions. In general, my teaching interests fall into the following categories: 

Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility

Business, Government and Society.

Business Policy, Strategic Management.

Research Methods.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research looks into why do things go wrong. Specifically I look at why do individual and organizational assessments lead to inapt decisions and undesired results, to what extent do industrial and institutional conditions lead our efforts failing to work as intended and how do we fail with our most global / environmental efforts. The lessons learned from such research suggest ways in which future efforts can increase our chances for successful outcomes.  All my research is approached with the same questions in mind:  What can go wrong with the way a process is managed? What can we learn from these mistakes? Specifically, my research falls into the categories listed below:

*

Empirical research strategies to promote long-term corp. survival & avoid organizational failure.

*

Investigation into business ethics, moral failure and personal moral development.

*

Enquiry into how external forces impact changes in corporate governance structures.

*

Investigation into how stupidity manifests itself in individuals and impacts organizational outcomes.

DISSERTATION

1989

Sheppard, Jerry Paul (1989). The strategy of corporate survival: A resource dependence approach. Doctoral dissertation (Seattle, WA, USA: University of Washington).

 

Winner of the Academy of Management and Strategic Management Society Best Dissertation Award. 1990.

 

The research developed an integrated, theoretical model to rationally explain and predict organizational survival and failure. Pfeffer & Salanciks Resource Dependency approach provided the theoretical structure for identifying those factors which may lead a firm to fail and then builds on the theory to develop a logically complete model.

TEACHING INTERESTS

I tell my students that there are two things one can get from university: education and schooling. Education is the theoretical background instructors typically test. Schooling is the practical tools one can employ in their jobs and lives. I try to focus on the schooling. This does not mean my students do not get exposed to theory, but I get them to apply the theory. With casework, endeavour to get them to arrive at logical ways to address underlying management problems an organization faces, rather than surface symptoms. I also, of course, look at finding alternative problem solutions. In general, my teaching interests fall into the following categories: 

Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility

Business, Government and Society.

Business Policy, Strategic Management.

Research Methods.
