Andrew Crane is Professor of Management, Marketing, and Business & Society at the University of Bath, based in the Centre for Business, Organisations and Society (CBOS). He holds office at 10 EAST 4.60 and actively leads research on corporate political roles within the global economy.
His research pioneers new frameworks for responsible business, with current emphases on modern slavery in supply chains, corporate activism, and CSR communications. Crane's fingerprint reveals dominant expertise in Corporate Social Responsibility (100%), Supply Chain Management (39%), and Business Ethics (22%), directly contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals for decent work and responsible institutions.
Recent 2025 publications demonstrate concentrated focus on modern slavery mechanisms, corporate tax accountability, and political dimensions of small business. His work systematically bridges ethical theory with supply chain governance to address human rights violations and labor exploitation across global value chains.
Crane actively supervises doctoral students in business-society research using qualitative and theoretical approaches. His projects secure major funding from the British Academy, UK Department for International Development, Horizon 2020, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for investigations into populism, gender equality, and modern slavery.
As a core CBOS member, he directs the Horizon 2020 project on 'Populism and CSR' examining corporate responses to democratic backsliding, alongside British Academy-funded initiatives combating modern slavery through supply chain leadership and advancing gender equality in Turkey.
