Research topics
My main research interests are in alternative forms of organisations and Critical Management Studies. Specifically, I study those organisational models that promote more humane forms of management by going beyond mere means-end rationality. I am also extremely interested in researching sports organisations. For my PhD thesis I investigated the challenges and possibilities for (utopian) organisations in sport, led by fan groups, to make a difference and to represent a viable (and sustainable) alternative to mainstream business and management models. This ethnographic study was conducted at FC United of Manchester, a fan-owned, semi-professional football club in Manchester (UK) that promotes democracy, inclusion and sustainability as core values.
Currently, I am involved in a multidisciplinary research project, aimed at assessing the socio-economic impact of megaprojects, and stakeholder engagement and management in complex organisations.
My interdisciplinary approach to research allows me to see organisations from different points of view: I am a firm believer that Business and Management studies can benefit from other disciplines such as sociology and anthropology.
