Dr Simon Parker

 I can provide comment, interviews, articles on management issues, co-operatives, workplace democracy, essay mills, banking, regulation, accreditation, culture, time and temporality.

My research focuses on four main areas: values-led organisations, co-operatives and workplace democracy, the banking sector (with a particular focus on culture and regulation) and most recently the study of time and temporality as a source of conflict and the existence of organizational parasites that feed off, yet maintain the organizations in which they dwell (e.g. essay mills and supply chain auditors) My work is largely critical of the typical practices of capitalism and corporations.

Interested in external consultancy and research collaboration opportunties.
