B RESEARCH
1. Statement on research
My current and future research interests are focused on a fast growing area in the management and
economics literature relating to corporate governance effects on strategic decisions and organisational
change. Key research programmes currently in progress include:
Strategy and resource roles of corporate governance. This research is focused on the effects of
context factors on the governance-strategy-performance interrelationships. Within this research,
particular emphasis is given to the strategic responses to organisational decline in different socio-
economic environments. This includes the analysis of the interaction between factors affecting the
need to change and managerial capacity to change.
Corporate governance life-cycle. This research deals with dynamic interrelationships between the
firm?s corporate governance, strategies and performance. In particular, it analyses strategic
decisions concerning the corporate governance mechanism at the initial public offering (IPO) stage
of the firm?s life-cycle, their links with pre-IPO governance characteristics, and long-term links
between performance and changes/ adjustments in control systems.
Entrepreneurship development and firm innovation. This research concentrates on problems of
„corporate entrepreneurship? and the internal and external constraints facing potential entrepreneurs
in new and existing enterprises, the development of venture capital, the governance role of outside
investors and industrial networks in supporting and developing entrepreneurial expertise.
Privatisation, corporate governance and strategic restructuring. This research includes projects
dealing with various elements of comparative analysis based on country case studies in central and
eastern Europe, former Soviet republics, China and other emerging market economies. Traditional
research on corporate governance problems is extended to the analysis of the roles and
responsibilities of different „stakeholders?. This research also deals with the corporate governance
role of banks and other newly emerging investment institutions (investment funds, venture capital
firms, etc.), the development of stock markets in emerging economies.
Building on these research perspectives I intend to develop an integrated and multi-disciplinary
framework for analysis of corporate governance issues along two major dimensions: a) national and
cultural environments; b) organisational context factors.

following activities:
Undertaking funded research and producing publications and reports for policy-makers and
practitioners
Organising workshops, seminars and major conferences to support a wide range of cutting-
edge research studies within various corporate governance fields
Organising a Roundtable Forum to promote debate, disseminate research results and contribute

7. Organisation of conferences and selected presentations.
Research conferences and business forums.
I have a considerable experience in organising conferences and workshops on various themes related to
corporate governance, strategy and international business research. The proceedings of some of these
forums have been published as edited books and special issues of academic journals, such as Journal of
Management Studies, Journal of Comparative Economics, Journal of Management and Governance,
Corporate Governance: An International Review; Journal of Development Studies, and World Economy.
In 2012, I was a Co-Chair of the Strategic Management Society Annual Conference (Prague, Czech
Republic).
In 2011, I organized jointly with Journal of management and Governance and the UK Financial Reporting
Council (FRC) an international conference on “The Changing Investor Landscape: Implications for
Management and Governance.” This Conference and associated special issue of Journal of
Management and Governance aimed to address gaps in the evidence concerning the structures and
processes through which governance and management are effected in firms with new types of investors
such as hedge fund, Sovereign Wealth Funds, private equity, etc. and how these alternative investment
firms are regulated. This Conference brought together academics, practitioners and regulators who are
involved in research and policy development related to the changes in investor landscape in the UK and
abroad. Apart from members of research community, our target audience included fund managers and
their advisors, corporate governance practitioners and the Government.
In 2009, I organized an international conference “Can Corporate Governance Make a Difference in
Banks?” The Conference was sponsored by Bank of New York Mellon. The Conference was focused
on the past strengths and weaknesses of bank governance and potential improvements. The
Conference?s speakers included members of the Treasury Select Committee, The Financial Services
Authority, and representatives of shareholder and non-executive communities.
In 2008, I organized an international conference “Barbarians at the Gates? Assessing the Impact of
Foreign IPOs and Sovereign Investors in the UK and USA”. The Conference was related to a research
project being undertaken in collaboration with Prof. G. Bell (University of Dallas, USA) and Prof. C.
Moore (Texas Christian University, USA) that focused on a comparative study of corporate governance
and business strategy of foreign IPOs in the UK and USA. In addition, the CRCG has invited a number
of distinguished academics and the investor community practitioners to give presentations on the
impact of foreign private equity firms and sovereign wealth funds on the stock-markets and corporate
sectors in the UK, US and other developed countries.
In 2005, I co-organized a Business Forum on “New Dimensions of Strategic Planning” in
collaboration with KCL Enterprises Ltd. The Forum?s participants represented various organisations,
including the DTI, Vodaphone, Control Risks Group, Arup and BAT. Among the presenters were Sir L
Freedman, Prof. M Clarke and Dr R Kent. This event helped to develop further collaborative links
between King?s College and industry partners.
18
In 2004, I organized a conference “Corporate Governance, Human Resource Management and Firm
Performance: The Research Agenda and Practical Implications” for the Department of Trade and
Industry. The Conference participants included leading researchers on corporate governance and HRM
issues, as well as representatives of the Government. The Conference proceeding were published by the
DTI in 2005.
In 2003 I organised an International Conference on “Corporate Governance Life-cycle” that was held in
Bradford University Business School (10-11 April 2003). The Conference participants included leading
researchers on corporate governance issues from the UK and USA, as well as representatives of the
Government and business community, such as the DTI, Institute of Directors, National Association of
Pension Funds, Association of British Insurers, UK Society of Investment Professional, British Venture
Capital Association, etc. I played a key role in securing sponsorship of the Conference by Robson Rhodes,
Yorkshire Forward and the British Academy of Management. Conference papers were published in a
book ”Corporate Governance Life-Cycle” (co-edited with Wright M), London, New York: Edward Elgar,
2005.
In 2003, I was an advisor and panel chair at the Strategic Management Society Conference on “Strategic
Management in Emerging Economies” (Hong-Kong, December 2003). A number of selected papers were
published in a special issue of the Journal of Management Studies, of which I was a guest co-editor.
I was serving as a Track Chair (“Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility”) at the British
Academy of Management Annual Conferences, September 2003 (Harrogate); September 2004 (St
Andrews); September 2005 (Oxford).
I have also served as a reviewer, panel chair and discussant in a number of leading international
conferences, including the Academy of Management, Academy of International Business and British
Academy of Management Conferences.

C. TEACHING
1. Statement on teaching
My teaching involves a wide range of subjects within Corporate Governance, Corporate Strategy and
International Business areas. I have a wide range of teaching experience at all levels, including full-, part-
time and executive MBA, PhD, DBA, MA, MSc and undergraduate studies. I have also provided
leadership in terms of programme design, teaching quality control and administration, and I have served as
a Director of various programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I have always taken an interest in new methods of teaching and learning, including the following:
Research-related teaching.
Topics of a large number of lectures are directly linked to my current research. Most of my lecture
and seminar presentations are supported by my publications in academic periodicals, which allow
students to develop a comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of current issues and discussions
in the areas of corporate governance, strategy and international business studies.
Qualitative techniques.
A variety of qualitative techniques are taught to students, including conducting focus group
discussions; various project development methods; project cycle management methods based on
the Logical Framework Approach; etc. Part of this involves the use of an outside expert to teach
some sections of the course.
Teaching based on practical experience.
My DBA, MBA and MA teaching provides opportunities for students to follow a career-based
module; to engage in “real life” group-based and individual projects; and the opportunity to
undertake a real research and development project for an outside organisation. This teaching
largely benefits from my own consultancy experience. Part of it is based on Project Cycle
Management techniques that have been developed for the World Bank and European Union
technical assistance programmes.

B RESEARCH
1. Statement on research
My current and future research interests are focused on a fast growing area in the management and
economics literature relating to corporate governance effects on strategic decisions and organisational
change. Key research programmes currently in progress include:
Strategy and resource roles of corporate governance. This research is focused on the effects of
context factors on the governance-strategy-performance interrelationships. Within this research,
particular emphasis is given to the strategic responses to organisational decline in different socio-
economic environments. This includes the analysis of the interaction between factors affecting the
need to change and managerial capacity to change.
Corporate governance life-cycle. This research deals with dynamic interrelationships between the
firm?s corporate governance, strategies and performance. In particular, it analyses strategic
decisions concerning the corporate governance mechanism at the initial public offering (IPO) stage
of the firm?s life-cycle, their links with pre-IPO governance characteristics, and long-term links
between performance and changes/ adjustments in control systems.
Entrepreneurship development and firm innovation. This research concentrates on problems of
„corporate entrepreneurship? and the internal and external constraints facing potential entrepreneurs
in new and existing enterprises, the development of venture capital, the governance role of outside
investors and industrial networks in supporting and developing entrepreneurial expertise.
Privatisation, corporate governance and strategic restructuring. This research includes projects
dealing with various elements of comparative analysis based on country case studies in central and
eastern Europe, former Soviet republics, China and other emerging market economies. Traditional
research on corporate governance problems is extended to the analysis of the roles and
responsibilities of different „stakeholders?. This research also deals with the corporate governance
role of banks and other newly emerging investment institutions (investment funds, venture capital
firms, etc.), the development of stock markets in emerging economies.
Building on these research perspectives I intend to develop an integrated and multi-disciplinary
framework for analysis of corporate governance issues along two major dimensions: a) national and
cultural environments; b) organisational context factors.

7. Organisation of conferences and selected presentations.
Research conferences and business forums.
I have a considerable experience in organising conferences and workshops on various themes related to
corporate governance, strategy and international business research. The proceedings of some of these
forums have been published as edited books and special issues of academic journals, such as Journal of
Management Studies, Journal of Comparative Economics, Journal of Management and Governance,
Corporate Governance: An International Review; Journal of Development Studies, and World Economy.
In 2012, I was a Co-Chair of the Strategic Management Society Annual Conference (Prague, Czech
Republic).
In 2011, I organized jointly with Journal of management and Governance and the UK Financial Reporting
Council (FRC) an international conference on “The Changing Investor Landscape: Implications for
Management and Governance.” This Conference and associated special issue of Journal of
Management and Governance aimed to address gaps in the evidence concerning the structures and
processes through which governance and management are effected in firms with new types of investors
such as hedge fund, Sovereign Wealth Funds, private equity, etc. and how these alternative investment
firms are regulated. This Conference brought together academics, practitioners and regulators who are
involved in research and policy development related to the changes in investor landscape in the UK and
abroad. Apart from members of research community, our target audience included fund managers and
their advisors, corporate governance practitioners and the Government.
In 2009, I organized an international conference “Can Corporate Governance Make a Difference in
Banks?” The Conference was sponsored by Bank of New York Mellon. The Conference was focused
on the past strengths and weaknesses of bank governance and potential improvements. The
Conference?s speakers included members of the Treasury Select Committee, The Financial Services
Authority, and representatives of shareholder and non-executive communities.
In 2008, I organized an international conference “Barbarians at the Gates? Assessing the Impact of
Foreign IPOs and Sovereign Investors in the UK and USA”. The Conference was related to a research
project being undertaken in collaboration with Prof. G. Bell (University of Dallas, USA) and Prof. C.
Moore (Texas Christian University, USA) that focused on a comparative study of corporate governance
and business strategy of foreign IPOs in the UK and USA. In addition, the CRCG has invited a number
of distinguished academics and the investor community practitioners to give presentations on the
impact of foreign private equity firms and sovereign wealth funds on the stock-markets and corporate
sectors in the UK, US and other developed countries.
In 2005, I co-organized a Business Forum on “New Dimensions of Strategic Planning” in
collaboration with KCL Enterprises Ltd. The Forum?s participants represented various organisations,
including the DTI, Vodaphone, Control Risks Group, Arup and BAT. Among the presenters were Sir L
Freedman, Prof. M Clarke and Dr R Kent. This event helped to develop further collaborative links
between King?s College and industry partners.
18
In 2004, I organized a conference “Corporate Governance, Human Resource Management and Firm
Performance: The Research Agenda and Practical Implications” for the Department of Trade and
Industry. The Conference participants included leading researchers on corporate governance and HRM
issues, as well as representatives of the Government. The Conference proceeding were published by the
DTI in 2005.
In 2003 I organised an International Conference on “Corporate Governance Life-cycle” that was held in
Bradford University Business School (10-11 April 2003). The Conference participants included leading
researchers on corporate governance issues from the UK and USA, as well as representatives of the
Government and business community, such as the DTI, Institute of Directors, National Association of
Pension Funds, Association of British Insurers, UK Society of Investment Professional, British Venture
Capital Association, etc. I played a key role in securing sponsorship of the Conference by Robson Rhodes,
Yorkshire Forward and the British Academy of Management. Conference papers were published in a
book ”Corporate Governance Life-Cycle” (co-edited with Wright M), London, New York: Edward Elgar,
2005.
In 2003, I was an advisor and panel chair at the Strategic Management Society Conference on “Strategic
Management in Emerging Economies” (Hong-Kong, December 2003). A number of selected papers were
published in a special issue of the Journal of Management Studies, of which I was a guest co-editor.
I was serving as a Track Chair (“Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility”) at the British
Academy of Management Annual Conferences, September 2003 (Harrogate); September 2004 (St
Andrews); September 2005 (Oxford).
I have also served as a reviewer, panel chair and discussant in a number of leading international
conferences, including the Academy of Management, Academy of International Business and British
Academy of Management Conferences.

C. TEACHING
1. Statement on teaching
My teaching involves a wide range of subjects within Corporate Governance, Corporate Strategy and
International Business areas. I have a wide range of teaching experience at all levels, including full-, part-
time and executive MBA, PhD, DBA, MA, MSc and undergraduate studies. I have also provided
leadership in terms of programme design, teaching quality control and administration, and I have served as
a Director of various programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I have always taken an interest in new methods of teaching and learning, including the following:
Research-related teaching.
Topics of a large number of lectures are directly linked to my current research. Most of my lecture
and seminar presentations are supported by my publications in academic periodicals, which allow
students to develop a comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of current issues and discussions
in the areas of corporate governance, strategy and international business studies.
Qualitative techniques.
A variety of qualitative techniques are taught to students, including conducting focus group
discussions; various project development methods; project cycle management methods based on
the Logical Framework Approach; etc. Part of this involves the use of an outside expert to teach
some sections of the course.
Teaching based on practical experience.
My DBA, MBA and MA teaching provides opportunities for students to follow a career-based
module; to engage in “real life” group-based and individual projects; and the opportunity to
undertake a real research and development project for an outside organisation. This teaching
largely benefits from my own consultancy experience. Part of it is based on Project Cycle
Management techniques that have been developed for the World Bank and European Union
technical assistance programmes.
