Biography
Prior to joining MBS Gary learnt the 'tools of the trade' as a lecturer in the Management School, at Salford University.Teaching and Research interests
Gary has been researching, in a broad sense the area of supply chain management for ten years. The first period (1990 - 1996) tended to be focused on the defence industry (aerospace and electronics) and this led to the award of a PhD in 1996. Since 1996, this has been extended to include information intensive sectors - music, software, publishing and education. His industrial research collaborations have included British Aerospace, Siemens, Halifax Bank, Marconi and Filtronics. On the academic side, he's worked with Loughborough University and Warwick Manufacturing Group exploring the impact of the Lean Aircraft Initiative on supply chain strategies in the aerospace sector. From 1998 onwards, much of his recent work has been concerned with the Internet. This resulted in a co-authored book entitled "Wired Marketing: Energizing Business for eCommerce". His main input concerned the supply chain dimension to virtual business activity. He is currently working (as part of a EU Leonardo funded project) in the inter-music European consortium (IMEC), which is exploring the implications of emerging information and communications technologies' on the supply of music, by independent entities operating in the European sector. As well as music, he's doing some initial exploratory research investigating the transmission mechanisms, by which subcultural creativity and styles (music, fashion, writings etc) are taken through the supply chain to become in essence a commodotised creative product for mass distribution.Selected Publications
