John W. Maxwell
I have been researching the area environmental economics with a focus on Corporate Environmentalism and Public Policy since 1992. Having specialized in Industrial Organization (along with Econometric theory) at Queen's University, my approach to this area is grounded in industrial organization and regulation.
I currently teach an undergraduate course in Non-market strategy. Non-market strategy focuses on firm strategy in dealing with government and civil regulation (or public and private politics).
I also teach an MBA course in game theory and business strategy. The course provides MBA students with an introduction to the application of game theoretic tools to different business situations and illustrates the power of the clarity of thought produced by game theory in thinking through strategic business decisions.
