Overview
Edwin is a 4th year Ph.D. candidate in Management at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), University of London. He is also a visiting Ph.D. and an affiliate fellow at Harvard University. Edwin holds a B.A. and M.Phil. in Musicology from the University of Cambridge. Prior to joining Bayes, Edwin was a researcher at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School.
Edwin’s PhD, co-supervised by Prof Laura Empson and Prof Paula Jarzabkowski, explores innovation processes and the co-creation of innovation within professional service firms. In particular, he focuses on the integration of humanistic elements of innovation with over-arching processes, the multiplicity of skillsets necessary to innovate successfully, and how firms can learn to innovate continuously. Edwin has a year’s worth of data from one of UK's leading global law firms – where he conducted over 80 interviews and physically observed the firm’s innovation efforts for six months.
Outside academia, Edwin also works with the United Nations International Telecommunication Union on innovation projects.
