Bio/Research
After earning a master's degree in social psychology (sociology), Neil Abramson pursued an eclectic career in business. He was a partner and manager in his own human resource management consulting and training company, an advertising company, and an import/export company that popularized the Dungeons and Dragons game in Canada. Weary of day-to-day business, Neil returned to university to complete an MBA and PhD at the Richard Ivey School of Business.
Dr. Abramson joined the Beedie School of Business in 1992. His research interests include strategies for international business; cross-cultural management and decision making; international organizational theory and how to do business in China, Southeast Asia and the US. His keen interest in ethics finds its way into many of his courses. Neil also studies theology and ethics through the Education for Ministry, a distance education program of the University of the South in Sewanee, TN. He's interested in applying theology to the study of effective leadership.
Outside of academia, Neil has an avid interest in Chinese and Japanese culture that includes learning how to write haiku poetry, doing Chinese brush painting, and, perhaps, creating a Japanese garden for meditation upon his eventual (though not for awhile) retirement.
