Short Biograph

Professor Jackson’s research examines how corporate governance is influenced by diverse organizational and institutional contexts. His research utilizes cross-national comparison to better understand the regulatory and other societal influences on the corporation, particularly using the cases of Germany, Japan, the UK and USA. His research aims to link disparate fields of scholarship, including institutional theory, organizational analysis, economic sociology, and comparative political economy. His current empirical projects focus on corporate responsibility and irresponsibility, organizational approaches to studying inequality, the role of ethics in organizations, and civic engagement in comparative perspective.  His internationally comparative work utilizes a range of methodological approaches including quantitative analysis of organization-level data in different countries, as well as qualitative “matched pair” case studies of organizations, macro-historical comparisons of institutions, and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA). 

Gregory Jackson’s research has been published widely in leading international journals in business studies, sociology, and political science. He has been principle investigator on grants from the German Science Foundation (DFG), European Union FP7 program, and ERSC, as well as the Department of Trade and Industry (UK), Bertelsmann Foundation, the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (Japan), the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, and the Hans-Boeckler Foundation. His research has received mention in The Economist, Financial Times, and BBC radio. He is an editor of British Journal of Industrial Relations and served as Chief Editor of Socio-Economic Review from 2012-2021.
