Dr Jonathan Baker is a Senior Lecturer in Strategy at the Adelaide Business School in the Department of Management since February 2022. Prior to coming to Adelaide, Jonathan worked at both Auckland University of Technology and University of Auckland in New Zealand, and as a Guest Professor at the University of Bayreuth in Germany. He is primarily a qualitative researcher, although often from an abductive, pragmatic perspective. Accordingly, he adopts a methodologically pluralist approach to his research. His research is interdisciplinary at the intersection of market(ing) systems, strategy, and social impact. He has been published in A and A* journals such as Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Service Management, and Marketing Theory. Current research projects focus on:
- Markets, the shaping of markets, and market-shaping strategies
- (Un)ethical market-shaping and how markets might be shaped to deliver improved social and environmental outcomes
- Market-shaping within the Global Health sector
- Systemic perspectives of business models
- Social impact and social entrepreneurship within (innovation) ecosystems
