Corporate Social Entrepreneurship

Dr Christine A. Hemingway is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Organisational Behaviour at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work is geared towards the creation of social, environmental and economic value. She is one of the founding scholars of the micro foundations of corporate social responsibility (micro-CSR). This is a sociological and psychological perspective that investigates responsible/irresponsible organisational contexts, and the development of formal and informal leaders, or activists, known as 'corporate social entrepreneurs'. Her pioneering work has inspired a practitioner movement and is widely cited in major scholarly journals. Prior to her academic career, Christine has 12 years' blue-chip management experience, spanning a number of industries, including significant budget responsibility for some globally recognised consumer brands. This paved the way for her appointment as a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor), prior to embarking on a part-time doctoral programme of study at the Nottingham University Business School, whilst lecturing full-time at the University of Hull.
