Dr Gary Buttriss

Lecturer
Research School of Management

My teaching and research have focused on sustainable enterprise - the role business plays in moving to sustainable systems, the challenges of becoming a sustainable business and how innovation in business models, product and service development, and market evolution drives the sustainable enterprise process.

My research and teaching interests now focus on Sustainability. I currently convene Corporate Sustainability (MGMT2001); Business and the Natural Environment (MGMT3101); Business & its Social Stakeholders (MGMT3102); Managing for Sustainability (MGMT7007); and Sustainable Marketing (MKTG2002); the latter being one of the first courses of its kind internationally.

I have led a student study tour to San Francisco and Silicon Valley in 2017 themed on sustainable enterprise - the aim was to expose students to the very latest advances in sustainability in business and policy, including, waste management, social entrepreneurship and innovation incubators and start-ups and much more.
