Professor Candace Jones, Chair of Global Creative Enterprise at the Business School, has received the honour of being elected to the Macro-Organisational Behaviour Society (MOBS), based out of Harvard University’s Business School. MOBS is comprised of world leading scholars in organisation theory and strategy, drawn from some of the world’s best universities, including Cambridge, Oxford, MIT and Harvard. The research and teaching of its members has been integral to the shaping and impact both of scholarship and business practices in the creative industries. Entrance to the society is strictly limited and can only be awarded through nomination and election by existing members.
Professor Jones’ work is centred on creative industries and professional services, as perceived through the lenses of networks, vocabularies, institutional logics, and materiality. She has published extensively on the subject in a variety of top journals, including the Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Annals, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Organizational Behaviour, Organization Science, and Organization Studies and Poetics. She also sits on the Editorial Review Boards of Academy of Management Review, Journal of Professions and Organization, Organization Science and Organization Studies. As a result of this, and her on-going contribution to the field of organisation theory and strategy scholarship, she was invited to join MOBS as part of its newest cohort.
Professor Jones said she is pleased to be honoured by such eminent peers and is looking forward to beginning her membership of the society, which will be marked by a presentation at their annual meeting at Harvard Business School in November.
