My area of research interest lies in the manner in which organisations (with
a focus on non-government voluntary and not-for-profit organisations) that seek
to remedy various environmental problems are able to utilize the resources of
commercial organisations to achieve this end.
As an outcome, I am seeking to determine if there is a framework whereby environmental organisations and commercial organisations are able to better cooperate and contribute to the resolution of environmental problems, with environmental organisations better able to secure higher levels of resource support from commercial organisations and commercial organisations better satisfied that they are justified in providing this support and see appropriate benefit doing so.

Are organizations aware - directly or indirectly - of the Endgame concept as
a tool for successful commercialisation of new technologies?
This research will investigate the Endgame concept presented by Chakravorti (The Slow Pace of Fast Change, 2003) as a potentially new tool, useful for mapping out the potential barriers, making strategic choices and assessing the market potential of any innovation's commercialisation.
The investigation will be an exploratory study to test and examine the awareness, attitude and level of acceptance of the Endgame concept by managers in commercialisation agencies, and potentially observe the time of adaptation of the concept in order to overcome customer scepticism of innovations
