Kenneth Amaeshi is a former Research Fellow of IKON at Warwick Business School. His research focuses on commercialization of intellectual property assets; governance of global innovation networks; R&D partnerships; sustainable innovation; multinational corporations and corporate social responsibility in developing economies. Prior to joining academia, he worked as a management consultant to multinational corporations in oil and gas, financial services, telecommunication and aviation industries in Africa and Europe. He has recently completed a research project on The Dynamics of Networked Innovation: barriers to knowledge transfer, which compared the US and UK institutional contexts of scientific entrepreneurship and financing of early stage science. The research project was jointly funded by the Cambridge-MIT Institute and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), United Kingdom. He is currently studying the exploitation strategy of an EU aerospace R&D network (www.vivaceproject.com/) in conjunction with the Warwick Manufacturing Group.
