His research is on the workings of institutions within a range of strategic management and industrial marketing topics. Specifically, he is interested in understanding how new technologies, industrial markets and organisational strategies emerge, are valued and become commercially scalable. He has undertaken research on these topics from an institutional perspective studying concepts such as business models, institutional leadership and logics, new product introductions, R&D project goals, institutional discourse, future-facing issues and institutional work as the basis for technology and market emergence. He has published most of his research in journals and recently acted as guest Editor for the Industrial Marketing Management.
