I am on the Editorial Boards of the British Journal of Management, the International Journal of Management Reviews, and the International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior & Research. Previously, I was Co-Editor of the European Journal of Innovation Management. I am a Senior Member of the ESRC Peer Review College, and an Inaugural Fellow of the British Academy of Management Peer Review College. I have served as a Scientific Evaluator of a number of international grant panels in the UK, the US, Finland, Portugal, the Netherlands and Kazakhstan. I have also served as a judge of the European Business Awards and Sage Group Innovation Awards. My research interests are in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation and strategic management. In particular, I focus on how firms can turn strategic and entrepreneurial resources and capabilities into successful innovation and firm performance in commercial and social enterprises, mainly from the following perspectives: - The resource-based view of the firm and dynamic capabilities; - Entrepreneurial orientation; - Entrepreneurial learning; - Organisational ambidexterity; - International entrepreneurship and innovation; - Socially responsible and sustainable entrepreneurship. I was a grant holder of two ESRC-funded projects. One of the projects studied how UK and Chinese high-tech firms can enhance their entrepreneurial capabilities and improve new product success rate either single-handedly or through international collaboration. The other project examined entrepreneurial orientation and growth potential of ethnic minority small firms in London. Through these projects, I have worked with government support agencies, community leaders, the media, and industry partners in both private and public sectors. My research interests are in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation and strategic management. Within these board research areas, I am particularly interested in how firms can turn strategic and entrepreneurial resources into innovative outcomes and bottom-line performance, using primarily quantitative methods as well as mixed methods. My expertise falls in the areas of: Entrepreneurial orientation and learning in different organisational contexts, such as small firms, medium-to-large organisations, social enterprises, ethnic minority firms, high-tech firms, and family businesses; The resource-based view of the firm and dynamic capabilities: conceptual development, empirical validation and practical application; Organisational ambidexterity: how firms explore new capabilities and exploit existing capabilities, and overcome success and failure traps; International research on entrepreneurship and innovation; Social entrepreneurship and its role in businesses, societies and communities; Corporate entrepreneurship and innovation, and business transformation.

Professor Dorothy Yen Professor Dorothy A. Yen is a Professor in Marketing. She is currently the Director of Research at Brunel Business School, Brunel University London. Dorothy takes a consumer-centric approach to understanding and discussing marketing, branding, and tourism matters. Dorothy studies how culture affects human behaviour, in both B2B and B2C domains. In the B2B domain, she looks at cross-cultural business relationships, with a particular focus on understanding how cultural-specific factors affect business relationships and collaborations. In the B2C domain, she studies consumer acculturation and sojourners’ and migrants' consumption practices and social media activities in relation to their cultural identity, as well as tourism boycotts and tourists' interactions with destinations on social media. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Dorothy explored how migrants in the UK attempted to cope with the life-threatening disease while dealing with institutional uncertainty and a hostile host environment. Dorothy’s proposal on branding Wales as a land of dragons and legends triggered numerous discussions, and she has been invited to give evidence to the Welsh Affairs Committee. Dorothy is a member of the Marketing and Corporate Brand Research Group at Brunel Business School and a lab leader of the Responsible Consumption and the Circular Economy Lab for the CBASS research centre of Substantiality and Entrepreneurship. Office hours are provided on Wednesdays from 11am to 1pm. Students can also email her to book an appointment at a mutually convenient time. This can be either on campus or via Microsoft TEAM upon mutual agreement. I'm interested in the following topics: Older adults as ageing consumers, healthy ageing practices and wellbeing Promoting Wales to international tourists as a global tourist destination Migrants as ethnic consumers, their identity, acculturation and their role in the host societies. Educating children as agentic consumers to reduce food waste Research group(s) Marketing and Corporate Brand Management Research Group (MCBM) Dorothy enjoys taking a problem-focused and user-centred approach to explore, understand and discuss various societal phenomena and matters. Her earlier research was very much focused on the B2B domain, where she investigated cross-cultural business relationships, with a particular focus on discussing how cultural-specific factors, such as the Chinese notion of guanxi, affect international business relationships and collaborations, especially in Anglo-Chinese B2B relationships. Her research findings help Western and Chinese firms reduce conflict, increase trust, and improve their relationship performance. Her interest in understanding how culture affects human behaviour and interactions is not restricted to the B2B field but has also moved into the B2C field over the past decade. She explores acculturation amongst travelling consumers. These include sojourners, migrants, international students, as well as tourists. Dorothy studies their consumption of food and social media in relation to their cultural identities and their relationships with the host society. Her willingness to support colleagues with various projects and collaborate across different disciplines means that her publications are wide-ranging, tapping into areas from marketing, management, green supply chain, and communications, to the more discipline-specific journals in food and health as well as tourism. Over the years, she has developed a strong will to support responsible consumption and the value of equality, diversity and inclusion, with a particular focus on 1) creating an age-friendly society, 3) preventing migrants from becoming marginalised citizens, and 3) promoting Wales as a global tourist destination. Dorothy applies an interactive learning and teaching approach during her lectures and seminars to better engage students with the knowledge. Using team-based learning, she encourages students to discuss their ideas and examples with her as well as with their peers so that together they can co-create a positive learning experience. This academic year (2022/23), I will be teaching the MBA Principles of Marketing module (MB5538). In this module, MBA students have the opportunity to work with a real business, develop and present their marketing plan to the business and receive direct feedback from the business.

Dr Stuart Andrews I am interested in the ways we understand, practise and manage the places around us. As a Co-director of Performing City Resilience, I work with emergency planners, culture directors, organisations, and companies to develop/implement creative strategies in response to local and global challenges. This collaborative work has led individuals, local authorities, companies and organisations to think in new ways about their work and to revise key policies and procedures, as demonstrated in New Orleans (USA). Critically, recent collaborative work led the Emergency Planning Society (international) to embed creativity in its core competencies. I have published internationally on arts, architecture, culture, emergency and resilience planning, performance, and place. Publications comprise books and academic articles, professional reporting and blog posts. Currently, I am working with Dr Patrick Duggan on two new monographs for Louisiana State University Press and Palgrave. At Brunel University London, I am engaged in interdisciplinary research and teaching on place, performance, and resilience. Within academic institutions, I have held leadership roles in research, learning and teaching, and associated areas at subject, department and/or school level. These have focused particularly on facilitating research and research impact development, designing and managing degree programmes, and growing international partnerships. I have examined written and 'practice as research' doctoral projects (both individual and collaborative submissions) exploring place and performance. There are two key strands to my research. Performance, Place and Resilience: I am a Co-Director of Performing City Resilience, an internationally focused research-led consultancy that develops creative practices of resilience and emergency planning in the UK and internationally. This is highly collaborative work, and Dr Patrick Duggan and I have been leading this project since 2017. Since 2020, we have been working on a UKRI-funded Rapid Response Covid-19 project exploring intersections between arts and resilience strategy in UK cities. On this project, we have worked closely wth UK local authoriites and the Emergency Planning Society, and have developed innovative invitations for pandemic response. Internationally, we have worked in New Orleans since 2018. Following an intial survey of arts and resilience practice in that year, we were invited to contribute to the development of the City’s five-year Hazard Mitigation Plan and the grassroots Cultural Masterplan in 2019. In June 2019, we delivered bespoke workshops for key city stakeholders including New Orleans Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (NOHSEP) – together with departments across City Hall, the Arts Council of New Orleans, and the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans. As a direct result of our work, NOHSEP are engaged on ‘a long-term path of embedding arts and cultural practices in our strategic planning’. Performing Place: Architecture and Environment: In 2019, I published Performing Home (Routledge), the first book to consider performances of home in domestic dwellings. This book speaks to research and practice in installation, performance and architecture, and looks directly at practices of enquiring into, making, adapting, mobilising, and being resident in domestic dwellings. It considers artists’ responses to place and to the possibilities, but also difficulties, of practising home. That same year, Matthew Wagner and I published The Dramaturgy of the Door (Routledge), the first book length study of the performance of the door – a key architectural element. In this, we explore the importance of doors in stage and place-based practice, and thereby issues of borders, thresholds, bodies, environments and practices of access and limit (project funded by British Academy/Leverhulme). Additionally, I have published a range of essays identifying ways in which ideas and practices from performance can help identify, reflect on and address urgent contemporary challenges. In particular, I reflect on new ways of responding to the effects of climate change. Performing City Resilience (emergency planning, hazard mitigation and resilience strategy) Performing Place: Architecture and Environment My teaching is grounded in my current and recent research into performance, place, and resilience, including my experience of working with partner organisations and collaborators. Alonside teaching that unpacks specific topics from this research, I invite students to identify methodologies and practices that will support their work in and beyond their degree. In teaching from my research area, I engage students in processes of identifying and developing their own individual research and professional interests as they progress on their degree.

From their first year, students specialize in one of four meticulously curated pathways (Planetary Health, Social Cohesion, Security and Global Innovation) taken alongside a common “Core Spine”. This degree, spanning sciences, social sciences, and humanities, fosters a transdisciplinary perspective—a necessity when addressing complex global issues. This approach enables students to dive into real-world application from their first year and experience first-hand the challenges and rewards that come from transcending disciplinary boundaries when addressing the urgent and intricate challenges of today. Additionally, certain aspects of the program have been collaboratively developed with local and international partners. We are proud members of the United Nations Academic Impact and the Planetary Health Alliance. In November 2022, the BASc Global Challenges programme won the UK and Ireland Green Gown Awards for Next Generation Learning and Skills. In July 2023, the BASc Global Challenges programme received a "Highly Commended" award at the International Green Gown Award for Next Generation Learning and Skills.

Dr Shona Koren Paterson Building on an academic transdisciplinary background in Natural Sciences (Marine Biology, Resource Management) and Social Sciences (Climate Adaptation, Social Justice, Environmental Policy), Shona’s guiding focus remains the generation and translation of defensible research informed by the needs of society and co-created with the intended beneficiaries. Her research is motivated by international frameworks such as the UN 2030 Agenda, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and the COP21 Paris Agreement. She has spent her working career building partnerships and knowledge exchange networks with local communities and stakeholders to achieve mutually beneficial social and ecological goals. With a special interest in marginalised communities and social justice and equity, Shona’s recent research has focused on global flood risk and resilience, climate risk assessments, adaptation and adaptive capacity in urbanising coastal areas. Embracing a transdisciplinary approach, Shona works at the interface of science-policy as well as effective and fit-for-audience communication of data and knowledge to ensure increased impactful discourse around risk. She has research experience in the Caribbean, USA, UK and Ireland, as well as a global perspective through involvement with Future Earth and its associated global research project Future Earth Coasts. Shona seeks to engage with a range of emerging global challenges through collaboration and co-production of knowledge by employing a transdisciplinary and applied bridging of science, social science, the arts and humanities at local, national, and international scales. Co-production enables science and research to have greater impact on sustainable development outcomes. Shona works to facilitate iterative and collaborative processes involving diverse types of expertise, knowledge and actors to produce context-specific knowledge and pathways towards a sustainable future. There is a real and urgent need to understand and tackle intractable global challenges in the face of constantly shifting biophysical and social realities. Shona’s work, with a range of partners across the globe, embraces this need, recognising that sustainability and equitable development, as illustrated by the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), requires transformative social and economic pathways co-created with intended beneficiary communities. The overall achievement of the SDGs depends not only upon responsible economic development administered through the lens of environmental sustainability, but perhaps more significantly, through enhanced social inclusion and resilience building at all scales. At Brunel, Shona is the Director of the Centre for Global Lives, the co-lead of the Equitable Development and Resilience Research Group as well as a member of the Centre for Flood Risk and Resilience. Examples of on-going research projects include the ESKE project and Catching a Wave. Most recently she has been involved in the co-curation of an unwavering immersive virtual installation on Long COVID in partnership with artists and scientitsts through the New York Gallery/Forum Relational Space.

Mrs Sue Hardman I am a professional certified accountant with a 20-year career, teaching accounting in Universities, underpinned by a year teaching in Further Education, during which time I was able to develop the basic pedagogic techniques that have developed and informed my subsequent teaching. My long and varied experience has enabled me to develop innovative approaches to teaching in order to illustrate abstract concepts across the learning spectrum, on both academic and professional courses. In 2006 I developed an interest in academic research and its role in informing work based practice. Therefore in 2006 I embarked on a research exercise to determine ‘selective and biased speech acts in corporate governance communication’. More recently I have been involved in undertaking action research into the use of video in inclusive teaching. After developing close links with the Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICM) and in response to demands from industry, I led a small team that designed, developed and managed a new degree in Credit Management. I have undertaken many examination and moderation positions during my career, in particular as Examiner for a new module for the CICM’s professional programme (Financial Analysis). I am a member of the British Accounting & Finance Association (BAFA) and undertake continuing professional development as required by my professional body, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

Dr Nevine El Tawy Being a higher education academic since 1997 makes me passionate about accounting as a research stream and as teaching and learning as a discipline. I am very fortunate to have been involved in a variety of teaching and learning activities since then. Although I am a class teacher I am also a research lover. My innovation in teaching showed the triangulation of the use of research teaching practise which should be used in teaching any accounting module. This has been reflected in teaching of the practical modules as management accounting for planning and control and management accounting for decision making, where I did have links between the research, theory and practise. I am also pleased to be a successful PhD principle supervisor for a number of students from the start of their PhD journeys until their destinations for PhD holders. During those 24 years I have become engaged in the academic and social life as an accounting academic @ a number of Universities. My research is mainly concerned about putting accounting as a core focus combined with teaching learning strategies within the higher education section, or/and operation management or/and research methodology. This multidisciplinary approach enabled me to publish in highly rated journals which have high a impact factor. I have written a number of academic papers, most of which have been published in highly rated journals. I also a reviewer at a number of journals as Journal of Enterprise Management. Moreover, I have been appointed as an External Examiner to peer institutions for their UG and PG programmes in Business and Management. I am very committed to BBS. I have been working now for 14 years in BBS, I have engaged in the different activities arranged by the school and by the University. I have done the upmost in the different aspects; teaching and learning, research, external esteem and inviting famous accounting speakers. Moreover, I am enjoy working within a collegial environment. I am confident that the skills I possess, along with my enthusiasm and willingness to pursue my targets, enable me to become an effective member of staff at BBS.
