George Cairns is a Senior Lecturer at RMIT University's Centre of Sustainable Organisations and Work, with over two decades of academic contributions at the intersection of scenario analysis, critical management studies, and international business ethics. His work combines design thinking with organizational theory to explore futures in unpredictable environments.
Research interests include postdichotomous frameworks for organizational analysis, critical scenario methods for policy and business contexts, and ethical dimensions of globalization. He has authored influential texts on scenario planning and co-developed methodologies like the Augmented Critical Scenario Method with George Wright.
His 15 most recent publications (2011-2019) demonstrate sustained engagement with strategic foresight (7 articles), critical international business (5 articles), and design-informed organizational analysis (3 articles), revealing a trajectory from stakeholder behavioral modeling to postnormal epistemologies in management research.
Collaborations with scholars like George Wright, Martyna Sliwa, and Ron Bradfield underscore his role in developing critical scenario theory as both academic practice and interventionist methodology.
