创新管理论坛之二十三

     Andrew Tylecote studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University, where he gained First Class Honours in 1968. He then gained an MA in Industrial Economics, and a BPhil in Economics, at Sussex and Oxford; later a doctorate for his book The Causes of the Present Inflation.

     Andrew´s work as an economist has always been based firmly on concern with the institutions of the economy, foremost of them the firm, and this led him into working also on management. He has worked on technology for more than 25 years and was a Visiting Fellow at the Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex, in 1984. Andrew has been Professor of the Economics and Management of Technological Change at Sheffield since 1994. His recent focus has been the effect of corporate governance and finance on technological change. He led a 6-country, EU-funded study on this in 1998-2002. With Francesca Visintin of the University of Udine, he recently completed a book arising from this project, on Corporate Governance, Finance and the Technological Advantage of Nations (Routledge, forthcoming).

     His work on development also goes back more than 25 years. He is currently participating in the Globelics and Cicalics networks which bring together technology and development experts. He is working on the technological development of China, again mostly viewed from the point of view of corporate governance and finance, writing with his former student Dr Cai Jing (Aberdeen University). This is now funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, in collaboration with Professor Wu Guisheng (Tsinghua) and Professor Fang Lee Cooke (Manchester). (Liu Jiajia is RA on this project.) He has also published recently on appropriate technology in China and elsewhere, and on Indian software. He is currently (as in 2005) Visiting Professor in the Department of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Tsinghua.

     Andrew speaks French, German and Spanish fluently and has been Treasurer of the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy. He writes regularly for newspapers, particularly The Guardian.
