RESEARCH ESTEEM
Academic Impact
Research has impacted on academic community through pioneering new approaches to innovation and project management in several areas of research:
Innovation in projects – publications in Advances in Strategic Management, Research in the Sociology of Organizations, California Management Review, Organization Studies, International Journal of Innovation Management, Research Policy (highly cited article achieved 109 ISI citations) and Industrial and Corporate Change (2 articles in top 10 most cited 2002-10).
Systems integration, services and solutions – book The Business of Systems Integration (2003) and articles in top-rated journals such as Industrial and Corporate Change, MIT Sloan Management Review, Industrial Marketing Management (top 10 most cited article in 2010) and IBM Systems Journal.
Technology policy – book Telecommunications and Politics (1994) and journal articles such as New Economy, Demos Quarterly and Industrial and Corporate Change (which attracted attention of world-renowned US scholar, Prof. Thomas Hughes) and Research Policy.
Key research findings brought together in books The Business of Projects (CUP, 2005) and The Business of Systems Integration (OUP, 2003).
As Co-Investigator and Co-Director of the ESPRC Innovation Studies Centre, played a key role in securing the second five years of £5.5m funding (2008-2013). Leader of current research theme: ‘Systems, Services and Design’:
Theoretical focus on how organisational capabilities required to manage the design and integration of complex ‘system of systems’ projects.
Study of innovation strategy and organization of the Crossrail and London 2012 Olympics projects.
The research builds on previous ‘Project Business’ theme led by Dr Davies:
Theoretical focus on how organisational capabilities and routines develop in response to the high degrees of uncertainty in major projects.
Innovation in megaproject design and delivery – how knowledge integration, capture and replication occurs in megaprojects, including Heathrow Terminal 5 and the Dongtan Ecocity in China.
Innovation in infrastructure – how organisational innovation in business models occurs in urban water (EPSRC platform grant) and road infrastructures (Imperial Consultants project).
Innovation in product-service business models in ICT firms (ESRC/AIM project).
Led the EPSRC ‘Ecocit Network’ to promote UK, Chinese and international research inspired by Dongtan, the ecocity designed by Arup for the Shanghai Industrial Investment Corporation (SIIC). Ecocit supported interdisciplinary research on sustainable urban development projects:
Major workshops and conferences with UK and Chinese researchers and practitioners held at Imperial College and Tongji University, China.
Developed innovative combination of techniques to promote and support research on ecocities, including Arup-led road mapping, 15 webex virtual meetings and presentations, major presentations, and smaller workshops.
Made presentations as Tongji University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan University and Tsinghua University.
Meetings held with Chinese practitioners including Arup’s Shanghai office, SIIC, Bluepath consultancy, Chongming Island Government, Jinshuan District, Tianjin Taida industrial park, and Shanghai Xingzhuang industrial park.
AIM/ESRC ‘Targeted Initiative on Innovation Fellow’ and Principal Investigator on a three-year project with IBM and BT to promote UK research capacity on service platforms and innovation in project-based firms.
Developed in-depth case studies of IBM and BT, published articles, book chapters and a book edited by project Co-Investigator, Gawer, A. (ed.) (2009) Platforms, Markets and Innovation, Edward Elgar.
Organised an AIM/ESRC conference in 2008 held at Imperial College on platforms attended by leading scholars (e.g. Prof Cusumano, MIT and Prof Carliss Baldwin, Harvard Business School) and business leaders (BT, Microsoft and Intel).
Participated in keynote presentations and organising a symposium on ‘Platforms and Service Innovation’ at the Academy of Management, 2012.
Led team responsible for organising three Professional Development Workshops (PDW) and Symposia (2008-2010) at three Academy of Management conferences.
At these events, over 150 scholars from technology and innovation management, organisational theory, strategy, project management and entrepreneurship met to discuss new thinking about project-based organising.
The conceptual ideas resulting from these discussions were brought together and edited by several participants including two members of my research team (Dr. Lars Frederiksen and Dr Flocki Taube) in the Special Issue: ‘Project-based organizing and strategic management’, (2011) Advances in Strategic Management, Volume 28.
