Professor Amrik Sohal

Professor Amrik Sohal has been recognised as one of the top 50 ranked researchers in the world in the technology innovation management field, winning an International Association for the Management of Technology research award.

The deputy head of the Department of Management in the Faculty of Business and Economics has not only won this award for the past five years, but is one of only seven researchers worldwide who have maintained this status for an entire decade.

The award is based on the number of articles published over the last five years in the top 10 academic technology innovation management journals.

In receiving the award, Professor Sohal acknowledged the support he had received from the department and faculty.

"My research into new manufacturing technologies dates back to the early 90s with surveys conducted in a number of countries around the world as well as the preparation of case studies about organisations that had adopted new manufacturing technologies and systems," Professor Sohal said.

"A number of my colleagues from the Department of Management have collaborated with me on this research and this award also recognises their standing in the field through joint publications in international journals."
