John Roberts' recent research has focussed on corporate governance and, in particular, on understanding the dynamics of roles and relationships both within boards and between boards and institutional investors. He is a qualitative researcher who typically uses interview based research with executive and non-executive directors, CEO's and chairmen in FTSE companies, as well as with fund managers and investors to explore the actual processes through which corporate governance is effected and effective. He has published widely from this work both in academic journals and practitioner reports. His wider research interests include corporate social responsibility, organisational processes of control and accountability, narcissism and ethics.
