Research

For the latter, his work concerns management and organizational development in the manufacturing firm. This work often takes an international dimension, as with studies of enterprise restructuring in the Chinese state-owned steel industry and management reform in Japan, U.K. and U.S.A.[3]

To fund these and other research investigations Hassard has received significant funding from the

Department of Health, Department of Trade and Industry, and the United Nations.[3]
