Biography

Roy lectures in entrepreneurship in the Norwich Business School and has interests in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. He maintains a strong interest in strategy within SMEs. His PhD research built on a project which he led on behalf of the Department for Education and Employment during the 90's. In particular it examined linkages between graduates and SME's, and how the skills demands of each can be developed and met.

Roy received his MBA from Strathclyde University Graduate Business School in 1977. His dissertation focussed on SME's and this led to an enduring interest in the sector. He has also a DMS from Strathclyde and a postgraduate Diploma in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing. Academic interests embrace a Visiting Professorship to Prague Economics University in the Czech Republic. His industrial experience extends to the retail sector, estate management and economic development. He was Director of Economic Development for Essex County Council from 1986 - 1992. Roy has also published numerous articles and case studies relating to the SME sector. He is an Emeritus Professor of Boston University.
