Professor Annie Pye from the Centre for Leadership Studies has successfully obtained a substantial grant from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to study how small groups of people lead large, complex companies.Professor Pye's research will focus on directors (both executive and non-executive) of FTSE-listed companies, through a two-and-a-half year study commencing in April 2008.
This is the third in a unique series of inter-linked, ESRC-funded studies that Professor Pye has conducted , the first was in 1987-1989, the second in 1998-2000 , charting changes in the responsibilities, roles and rhetoric of company leadership.The grant will fund a research team to include two experienced research fellows (with financial and/or legal expertise)able to conduct and interpret interviews with very senior business people.
