Biography
Guy's formal education is in economics – he obtained his PhD (Economics) from Warwick (examiners: Andrew Glyn and Paul K. Edwards) in 2000.
However, through his PhD, Guy broadened his interests in political economy to encompass industrial and political sociology and industrial relations.
This was honed into specialism in cross-national comparative employee relations and international HRM through posts at Oxford, Kings College London, Henley Management College and (from 2007) Southampton Business School.
Guy is particularly interested in the implications of employee relations and people management for organizational and industrial performance.
