Bio/Research
Guy Holburn is an Associate Professor at Ivey in the Business, Economics and Public Policy group. His area of expertise is in the intersection of business strategy and public policy: how political, regulatory and social institutions affect firms' market strategies; and how firms in turn manage their institutional environment through government relations, stakeholder management, public communications and lobbying strategies. Much of his research is applied to strategy and policy issues in the utilities sector, particularly in the electric power industry.
Holburn joined Ivey in July 2001 after completing his Ph.D. in Business Administration (strategy) and M.A. in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. At Ivey he is also the Director of Ivey Energy Policy & Management Centre, the centre for research and outreach on national energy issues. Prior to his Ph.D. studies, Holburn worked for several years as a management consultant with Bain and Company in London, England, and was a founding member of the Bain South Africa office. His undergraduate degree is from Cambridge University.
Holburn has been awarded a number of research grants, including those from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Hydro One, the Olin Foundation, the University of California Energy Institute, California Public Utilities Commission, Ontario Centres of Excellence and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. He is currently leading a multi-year research program on energy regulation in Canada.
In addition to academic-based research activities, Holburn has also worked as a consultant in the private and public sectors on economic impact assessments, regional economic development strategy, performance improvement strategy in the utility sector and consumer advocacy policy.
