Masoud Shadnam

Dr. Masoud Shadnam is Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at Nottingham University Business School in University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC). His research is multidisciplinary and the broad field that characterizes his scholarly work is the intersection of Organization Theory (OT) and Business Ethics (BE). More specifically, he studies moral and cultural aspects of organizational settings from a descriptive perspective drawing primarily on insights from the disciplines of sociology and social theory. He is critical of the widespread blind obsession with profit and performance, and prefers to inquire about the inconvenient, eclipsed aspects of organizational life. His articles have appeared in several journals including Academy of Management Review, Organization, Journal of Business Ethics, Business Ethics Quarterly, Journal of Management Inquiry, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Organizational Change Management, Journal of Leadership Studies, and International Review of Sociology.

Before joining UNNC, Dr. Shadnam held faculty positions at MacEwan University in Canada and NEOMA Business School in France. He has also been a visiting fellow at Yale University in United States and York University in Canada. He completed his PhD at Simon Fraser University in Canada and his MBA and BSc at Sharif University of Technology in Iran.
