Research Interests

Dr. Cunningham's research focuses on ethics and corporate social responsibility, private, fast growth companies and strategic partnerships. While these may seem like totally divergent areas of study, they are linked by their focus on the concepts of leadership, trust, integrity and commitment, which are the core elements of responsible behaviour and high performance within business.
