Governing Responsible Business 2014-2019
GRB Fellowship Program
The GRB Fellowship Program 2014-2019
The purpose of the fellowship program was to affiliate outstanding scholars outside CBS to the GRB, as a means to strengthen and cross-fertilize the GRB research portfolio. The program has been a beneficial way for GRB to foster collaborations and to strengthen ties to individuals with interesting research profiles. The fellows got a chance to come to one of the most vibrant research groups in the world in the area of governing responsible business, and got a valuable opportunity during their stay to connect with GRB’s prominent researchers.

José Carlos Marques
José Carlos Marques' research program lies at the intersection of strategic management and sustainability governance. He studies the design and management of inter-organizational collaborations that address social and environmental challenges - these include business associations, multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) and business-state pacts. He is particularly interested in the drivers, strategies and effectiveness of coalitions that develop global CSR standards, sustainability certifications and industry codes of conduct. His current projects examine: 1) industry responses to carbon pricing schemes; 2) how contestation, cooperation and competition between firms, non-government organizations (NGOs) and governments that shape the private regulatory governance regimes in global supply chains. José Carlos' work has been published in Organization Studies, MIT Sloan Management Review, Journal of Business Ethics and Journal of World Business. Prior to pursuing a PhD, he was a researcher at the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) and worked in aviation, IT and international development.
Research interests
Business collective action (industry/ trade associations; coalitions), private regulation (sustainability/ CSR standards and regulations), corporation as political actors, business-state interactions, counter-movement responses to social movement pressures
