The ESRC postdoctoral fellowship award (£27,351) funded me for one year immediately after the successful completion of my doctorate. The ESRC letter dated May 2003 stated that “Competition for the awards was fierce and the quality of applications (349 applications) very high. We therefore delighted to be able to inform you that the panel decided it would like to offer you an award”. The one-year project examined the following empirical question: Does a company that strives to attain good environmental performance gain advantages over competitors or is environmental performance just an extra cost for these firms? The research was looking at more than 3000 UK companies covered by the Management Today “Britain’s Most Admired Companies” surveys using the “Community and Environmental Responsibility” ratings for the years 1991 to 2003 inclusive.
2002 – 2003                  ICCSR Research Fellow, Nottingham University Business School.
