Christopher Wright’s research focuses on critical understandings of corporate capitalism with a particular focus on the role of large business corporations and their societal and environmental impact. He has researched and published extensively on issues of organisational and technological change, the labour process, management innovation, management consultancy, sustainability and the changing nature of human resource management. He utilises qualitative methods to explore these issues including case studies, interviews, critical discourse analysis and organizational history.
Professor Wright’s current research is centred on business and climate change, with a particular focus on how managers and corporations interpret and respond to the climate crisis. As one of the most critical issues facing humanity, climate change poses major challenges for business organisations in terms of regulatory, market, reputational and physical risk. Professor Wright’s research in this area has explored critical understandings of corporate environmentalism, business sustainability, corporate citizenship, risk, political myth, managerial identity and the role of emotions in climate change responses. A recent article in the top-tierAcademy of Management Journal(with Professor Daniel Nyberg of Newcastle University) develops this research by analysing the limits of business engagement with ‘grand challenges’ such as climate change. This research is further developed in his recent bookClimate Change, Capitalism and Corporations: Processes of Creative Self-destruction(Cambridge University Press, 2015) written with Professor Nyberg.
Professor Wright has led various research projects in the area of climate change and corporate responses to energy transition. These have included: Australian Research Council funded Discovery projects; journal special issues on the topics of climate futures, and the Anthropocene and organizing; and international conference streams on climate change and business. He is also a Chief Investigator on a current ARC-funded Discovery project investigating energy security in Australia (with Associate Professor Jane Lê).
Most recently, Professor Wright organised the visit to Australia by world-renowned climate scientist Professor Michael Mann from Pennsylvania State University. Professor Mann’s visit resulted in a symposium of academics and industry and environmental leaders on the future of climate change responses, a large public lecture on climate change denial, and numerous media interviews on the current state of climate politics.
Professor Wright is a regular contributor to the media on business responses to climate change, corporate environmentalism and sustainability.
