Dr Rory Ridley-Duff is Professor of Cooperative Social Entrerpreneurship at Sheffield Business School and a research leader in the Departmen of Management. His work has led to an expansion of interest in social enterprise education worldwide, and his key text Understanding Social Enterprise: Theory and Practice is a resource for degree courses all over the world. In addition to an extensive list of publications on social enterprise, industrial relations and corporate governance, he has been a keynote speaker at conferences in the UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Indonesia, Montenegro, Croatia and France. His current projects include a Horizon 20/20 project ("NEMESIS") on social innovation education in schools, an Erasmus+ project ("FairShares Labs for Social and Blue Innovation") developing FairShares incubators in Hungary, Croatia, Germany, Holland and the UK, a COST Action ("EMPOWER-SE") which is investing heavily in the next generation of social enterprise scholars.
His research on multi-stakeholder governance in the social economy has been recognised for its real-world impact and informed the creation of a network of academics, consultants and social entrepreneurship who advance a FairShares Model of co-operative social enterprise (see FairShares Association Ltd).
