The Centre for Responsible Leadership is hosting a Visiting Scholar this week.
Jennifer Howard-Grenville, Associate Professor of Management, University of Oregon, Lundquist College of Business.
She studies processes of organizational and institutional change and has explored the role of routines, issue selling, and culture in enabling and inhibiting change. She is particularly interested in how people change their organizations in response to environmental and social demands. Her work has been published in Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Organization & Environment, Law & Social Inquiry, California Management Review and several other journals. She is the author of Corporate Culture and Environmental Practice (Edward Elgar, 2007), which documents her in-depth study of a high-tech company, and coauthor or editor of two other books on industrial ecology. Howard-Grenville received her PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, her MA at Oxford University, and her BSc at Queen's University, Canada.
While here she will be leading research discussions for MSc. and PhD. students, working on her own research and getting to know our faculty.
If you see her around QSB, please give her a warm welcome!
