After an extensive peer review process, Mark has been recognised for the impact of his work through the use of social science for public benefit. Professor Saunders is renowned for his contribution to methods research, human resource management and social science researcher development.
Mark’s research interests include methods for researching, in particular participant selection, and trust within and between organisations, and he is widely published on these topics. Mark holds visiting professorships at the universities of Birkbeck (London), Surrey and Worcester.
Professor Catherine Cassell, Dean of Birmingham Business School, commented, “I am delighted that Mark has been awarded this Fellowship.
