My research lies in the area of organisational change in the public services, especially in professionalized settings such as health care and universities. I am interested in New Public Management and post NPM narratives of public policy reforming and the changing roles of professionals and managers, including clinical/managerial hybrids. I have also worked on the implementation of Evidence Based Medicine. I have recently completed a big study of health care networks and am currently working on the nature of management knowledge and knowledge mobilisation processes in health care in two projects funding by NIHR SDO. I have also published on the ‘Business School Business’ and have an interest in alternative organisational forms in the Business School field.
