EXPERIENCES

At the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics James is the Director of Centre for Innovation and Structural Change and is a senior lecturer in Strategic Management. He previously held the positions as the Executive MBA Programme Director and the Head of the Strategy Group. Prior to joining NUI, Galway James held a lecturing position in the Michael Smurfit Graduate School of Business at University College Dublin. Prior to this James worked as a strategy consultant. He has published extensively and his publications include books, book chapters, journal papers, case studies and refereed conference papers. James has presented, given key note presentations and chaired sessions at academic and practitioner national and international conferences. He has received a number of awards for his research including two best paper awards at the British Academy of Management Conferences (2002 and 2005), a best paper award at the Irish Academy of Management Conference (2003) and his co-authored case studies have won national and international competitions.

His main research interests focus on strategy as practice and technology transfer. He has also completed consultancy projects, acted as mentor for start-up businesses and in 2002 held a visiting Professorship at the Department of Management and Organization at Penn State University. James has published four co-authored books. His research on technology transfer has been cited in the Government’s major strategy document entitled, Strategy for Science Innovation and Technology published in 2006. His co-authored book entitled the Strategic Management of Technology Transfer: A New Challenge on Campus was described in a Business and Finance review in December 2006 as: “This book should be part of the policy library our entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and top manager in ICT and R&D oriented sectors.” His latest co-edited book entitled Irish Management 2.0: New Managerial Priorities in a Changing Economy combines articles, case studies and management reflections from a range of academics and practitioners which provide a compelling commentary on the future of management practice and business education in Ireland. He is currently completing an international strategy book entitled Strategy and Strategists which will be published by Oxford University Press in 2009.
