Hogan's research centers on service ecosystems addressing grand societal challenges through public value creation. His work integrates circular economy principles with business model innovation to tackle sustainability issues, while exploring how human-centered design drives entrepreneurial solutions in public management and education. This interdisciplinary approach bridges theoretical frameworks with real-world industry applications.
Analysis of his 14 publications (2015-2025) reveals two dominant research streams: critical examinations of Australian business education's vulnerabilities and public value contributions, and applied environmental research on plastic waste diversion and circular economy implementation. Recent works (2023-2025) increasingly focus on biological solutions for plastic pollution and industry-specific sustainability transitions, demonstrating evolving methodological diversity from policy analysis to empirical industry studies.
Hogan has secured industry grants specifically targeting circular economy applications in the red meat processing sector and broader sustainability initiatives. His professional trajectory—from founding creative businesses to academic research—creates a unique nexus between entrepreneurial practice and scholarly investigation, particularly evident in projects co-developed with industry partners like Surf Life Saving NSW and red meat processors.
