An EconoTimes perspective

Colin Campbell-Hunt

Emeritus Professor in Business, University of Otago

Emeritus Professor in Business, University of Otago I thoroughly enjoyed a 40 year career as a business school academic, both at Otago and before that at Victoria in Wellington. My research and teaching never strayed far from questions of competition between firms and the ways in which firms might possibly sustain an advantage over their competitors. I am greatly privileged to have led a large 10-year funded research programme into the competitiveness of New Zealand firms in global markets. In later years, I also became interested in the application of complex systems theory to organisations, and this has given me a perspective on the enormous challenges presented to New Zealand and the world by climate change.
