His doctoral supervisions include Business-NGO partnerships, sustainability, CSR, leadership, cross-cultural business management and inter-firm dynamics. Before joining academia, Wayne worked in management roles in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, with early careers as a solicitor in private practice (in commercial and corporations law) and as a legal writer (in corporations law and corporate practice).
