Innovation and Intellectual Property Management (IIPM) Laboratory

Thanks for visiting us in Cambridge! It was very nice to see Marcia Mkansi from the University of South Africa at the IfM today. Not only is Marcia  Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management at the College of Economic and Management Sciences but also a serial entrepreneurial. Great fun showing her around and telling her a bit about the Silicon Fen.

Marcia is currently spending time during this summer in the UK and came to visit us today after we met earlier this year in Johannesburg. Always good to see colleagues in-person. We are currently collaborating on a book project jointly edited with some of her close collaborators titled "Green Innovation in Supply Chains: Cases and Applications" to be published by Wiley at some time next year.
