Jeff Kennedy joined Nanyang Business School in July 2003, from a position as Senior Lecturer in the Commerce Division at Lincoln University, New Zealand. He has taught undergraduate, MBA, and postgraduate courses on leadership, human resource management, cross-cultural management, and organisational behaviour, and executive education courses on leadership and change management. He spent twelve months as a visiting teaching fellow at the Nanyang Business School, Singapore (July 2001 – June 2002) and travelled regularly to Malaysia (1996-2000), teaching into Lincoln’s Malaysia-based commerce degree on the Uniten campus near KL. Prior to joining Lincoln, Jeff worked as an industrial/organisational psychologist for the Royal New Zealand Navy (seven years) and as a senior consultant for Ernst & Young (seven years). In both organisations he was involved in recruitment, selection, organisation consulting and management development work. His research on cross-cultural leadership and management has been published in a variety of journals, including Journal of International Business Studies, Academy of Management Executive, Asia Pacific Journal of Management, and Organizational Dynamics. Jeff has a B.Sc.(Hons) in Industrial/Organisational psychology and a B.Com (Economics) from the University of Canterbury. He is a New Zealand registered psychologist, and a member of the United States Academy of Management and Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
