Suresh Cuganesan

Professor Suresh Cuganesan serves as Deputy Dean (Students and Strategic Innovation) at the University of Sydney Business School, where he researches organizational change, stakeholder engagement strategies, and public sector governance. His work examines temporal dynamics in change processes and community-centered infrastructure development.

His research explores:

• Identity reconstruction in stakeholder engagement
• Temporal dimensions of organizational change
• Public sector accounting innovations
• Community-centered infrastructure governance

developing frameworks that address social equity in strategic initiatives.

Recent publications analyze how governments can leverage social movement strategies for community infrastructure engagement, challenging traditional place-based identity approaches to stakeholder management. His temporal studies reveal how clock-time and event-time dialectics shape change implementation.

Funded projects include PMI-supported research on harnessing social capital in infrastructure projects and ARC-funded studies on information security in government organizations. He contributes to public policy discourse on international student experiences and educational innovation.
