Prof Katy Mason

Biography Katy's expertise lies in the making and shaping of moral markets: a particular form of open and collaborative innovation, that aims to co-design markets for the good of people and the planet. Making moral markets represents a collective effort to infrastructure an ‘everyone economy’ that (re)uses and recycles materials to better protect our planetary boundaries.

Katy has worked with organisations such as Rolls-Royce, Microsoft, Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst, the Cabinet Office, North Yorkshire County Council, Quickline Cybermoor and many other to make, shape and grow moral markets, generating insights into how market actors can effectively work across organisational boundaries to co-create social, environmental and economic value. Her work has been published in Journal Management Studies, Organisation Studies, British Journal of Management, Industrial Marketing Management, Marketing Theory, Long Range Planning and Academy of Management Learning and Education.

Katy is currently PVC Dean at the University of Salford, and President of the British Academy of Management. She sits part of the General Assembly for the International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management, and is Fellow of the British Academy of Management, Fellow of the Academy of Social Science, Cabinet Office Policy Fellow and Chartered Companion of the Chartered Management Institute.

Before moving to the University of Salford, Katy was Associate Dean for Research at Lancaster University Management School, Chair of the British Academy of Management and Associate Editor of the Journal of Cultural Economy. She is on the Editorial Board of Management Learning, Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Management Studies and the British Journal of Management.
