Key details
Dr Guodong Cheng
Lecturer in Business Management
My past experience and research interests can be summarised as focusing on marginalised and vulnerable people in developing countries. I completed my Ph.D. in Management at Aston University (UK), where I specialised in business and human rights as well as business ethics more broadly. My research examines the contextualisation of UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in multinational corporation supply chains in China. I joined University of Greenwich in 2023 as Lecturer in Business Management.
