Cristina Neesham Reader in Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility at Newcastle University Business School, Newcastle, United Kingdom. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Melbourne. Cristina's research interests focus on using philosophical methods to inform the strategic management of systemic social and environmental problems, as well as to support management research methodology in general. She is exploring the concept of value in business models and innovative technologies, and its application in various management practices. In this context, she investigates interdependencies between individual and group behaviours, social norms and institutional-regulatory regimes and their role in creating (as well as alleviating) social and environmental problems. Her philosophical work is also inspired from historiography and anthropology.
