We are pleased to announce the Alan Rugman Fellow for the 2023-24 academic year, hosted by
The Dunning Centre For International Business at the Henley Business School, University of Reading.
A committee consisting of Mark Casson, James Walker, Alain Verbeke, Davide Castellani, and Rajneesh Narula reviewed the applications.
This year’s fellowship has been awarded to Sunny Li Sun,
who is an associate professor of entrepreneurship and innovation in The Manning School of Business, University of Massachusetts Lowell.
Dr. Sunny Li Sun’s (PhD, University of Texas at Dallas)
research interests cover entrepreneurship, innovation, corporate governance, venture capital, networks, and institutions. He has published papers in Strategic Management Journal, Journal of International Business Studies, Entrepreneurship
Theory and Practice, Journal of Business Ethics, Research Policy, and Journal of Business Venturing with over 6,900 Google Scholar Citations. He has four papers listed as “highly cited papers” (in the top 1% of its academic field, based on
Thomson Reuters’ Essential Science Indicators) and received the Best Impact Award in Academy of Management Perspectives (2009-2013) and the Robert H. Schaffer Award for the Best Paper in Academy of Management. He is the editor of the special issue of Journal
of Business Research and seat in the editorial board of
the Journal of Management Studies and Journal of Product Innovation Management. Before joining academia, Dr. Sun had 11 years of industrial experience in new venture creation, financing, and consulting.
The Alan Rugman Visiting Fellowship was established in 2015. This is an annual award which honours the work of the late Professor Alan Rugman, and is available to scholars whose work is explicitly linked to topics aligned with his academic
interests. The award is in part available thanks to a donation from Helen Rugman in memory to her late husband. Details about the programme can be found at:
https://www.henley.ac.uk/research/centres/the-dunning-centre-for-international-business/visiting-the-centre.
Visiting fellows are expected to give at least one seminar, and to spend some time in residence over the academic year (between September and June).
I am sure you will join with me in congratulating Li Sun!
