Prof. Duncan Angwin

Prof. Duncan Angwin
Duncan Angwin is Professor in Strategic Management at Oxford Brookes University, England and Associate (Fellow / Professor) at Warwick Business School and Said Business School, Oxford. He lectures around the world for many businesses and Universities and has held visiting professor appointments at Adelaide Graduate School of Management; EHTP, Morocco; ENPC, Paris; HEC, Paris; Georgetown, US; Said Business School, Oxford. He sits on the Academic Council of ENPC, Paris

Duncan held the Chair of the Strategy and Practice group at the Strategic Management Society conference for three years and was 2008 joint winner of the Best Paper for Practice implications in Cologne, Germany. He currently chairs the awards panel for the Strategic Management Society’s prize for best conference paper for practice implications. He is also currently Chair of the panel of judges for the Management Consultancies Association, London, annual performance awards for best consulting company and for best management consultant. He sits on the advisory board of the centre for mergers and acquisitions research, CASS Business School, London.

Duncan has published widely on Strategic Management and Mergers and Acquisitions and has published in many journals including Academy of Management Executive, Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions, Business Horizons, California Management Review, European Management Journal, Journal of World Business, Long Range Planning, Organization Studies, Strategic Change and is frequently in the media commenting on M&A deals. He has written three books: ‘Mergers and Acquisitions’, and ‘The Strategy Pathfinder’ 2nd edition, both published by Wiley, Oxford and ‘Implementing Successful Post Acquisition Management’ with Financial Times / Prentice Hall.

Duncan’s primary area of research is strategic perspectives on Mergers and Acquisitions. He recently completed a three year research programme, for the European Union, investigating the patterns and effects of M&A in the European food supply chain.
His attention now focuses upon a Strategy-as-Practice approach to M&A and how the practices and activities of key executives influence overall processes and outcomes. Related to this perspective, Duncan has recently won a substantial research grant from Oxford University’s Centre for Corporate Reputation to investigate the practices and impacts of corporate communications during mergers and acquisitions.

Before moving back to academia, Duncan held senior appointments in International Investment Banks specialising in Corporate Finance and cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions. He maintains close links with industry working with companies including Bank of Austria, Care UK, Central Bank of Libya, Centrica, China Construction Bank, Collinson Grant, Corus, CSFB, Deloittes, Ernst and Young, Experian, HSBC, IAMCO, IBM, KPMG, MCA, McKinsey, Prudential, Royal Shakespeare Company, Severstal, Taylor Wimpey, TNT, Vodaphone, YKK.
