Professor Michael Butler

Michael Butler is Professor of Management at Bangor Business School, UK, and Visiting Professor at Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance, China. Prior to Bangor Business School I worked at Aston Business School and Cranfield School of Management.

Michael is Founder/Director of The TRANSFORMATION Project (www.thetransformationproject.co.uk). The Project captures his research interests in understanding the process and practice of change from a multi-disciplinary perspective (institutional, biological and historical).

He is on the Editorial Board of Complexity, Governance and Networks and formerly on the Editorial Board of Asia Pacific Journal of Business Administration. He publishes in leading management and organization journals (British Journal of Management, Human Relations, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, The Leadership Quarterly, Organization Science and Public Management Review - all rated 4* [out of 4] internationally excellent).

He has co-authored one book and co-edited three. One of the books is a textbook about 鈥極rganisational Behaviour鈥 (CIPD) and the most recent is titled 鈥楨mbedding Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethics in Business Education鈥 (Edward Elgar).

His engaged scholarship (funded to c拢2.6m) has been recognized (CMI and ESRC), and the OECD used his research to evaluate international policy implementation. An ERDF project facilitated measurable growth across 38 SMEs, and in 2019 knowledge was transferred about measuring growth evidencing US$13,925,474.60 (拢11,406,000) Gross Value added to the Nairobi economy, and 357 jobs created.

In 2015, he became Fellow, RSA (Royal Society for Arts). In 2017, Senior Fellow, HEA (Higher Education Academy), and Fellow, CMI (Chartered Management Institute).

Future Research Students

1. I can supervise widely within Business and Management.

2. My research interests focus on聽organisational change, taking a multi-disciplinary perspective聽(transformational, biological and historical).

3. I have a specific project called聽The TRANSFORMATION Project聽(www.thetransformationproject.co.uk) and I'm looking for research students to contribute to this research agenda.

4. I have some聽live projects, again, I'm looking for research students:

-听Investigating Future Prosperity - How Management Skills can Boost Growth in the Regions and Beyond聽

This project is an extension of the supervisory team鈥檚 contribution to the CMI's latest policy paper which focused on the West Midlands Future Prosperity. The new project will address the important topic of boosting growth through management skills by comparing and contrasting three regions including Wales, the North East and the West Midlands. There are wider implications by addressing the UN鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals. Qualitative methods will be used to reveal key themes and build towards new theory, especially related to place leadership. There is a practice dimension which delivers impact by helping regional organisations such as SMEs to grow.

-听Sustainable Heritage and Social Innovation as Enablers of UN鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals聽

In 2015, UNESCO published a policy document for the integration of a sustainable development perspective into the processes of the World Heritage Convention. In other words, for the first time, the role of heritage and creativity is seen as an enabler of sustainable development across the Sustainable Development Goals. In order to develop and test new approaches, this project will compare and contrast two live projects which are in the process of bringing heritage sites into re-use with an emphasis on community involvement. Action research will surface concepts and practices about sustainable heritage. There will be a wider contribution to social innovation and emergent theory in this field.

  • The TRANSFORMATION Project (see www.thetransformationproject.co.uk) is part of the regional growth solution having had historic impact in this area. The Project helps organisations to re-think their overall, operational or project management strategies in response to the pressures from outside and inside their organisation. It achieves this principally through deploying a prototype Receptivity for Change Toolset developed by the PI in a previous ESRC project (RES- 189-25- 0025). The Toolset measures capability in management, leadership and other key areas eg innovation. However, after user feedback, to fulfil our aim of helping SMEs in (North) Wales identify their readiness for growth and propensity for innovation, we need to update the prototype of The Receptivity for Change Toolset to re-align it with current organisational expectations, such as the drive to digitisation.
