Research
[edit]Katsos's research focuses on the intersection of business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and conflict management. His work explores ways in which businesses can operate ethically and sustainably amidst political and social turmoil.[3][4] His most well-known work, with John J. Forrer, provides evidence that companies can have the greatest impact on peace in the 6–10 years after the cessation of hostilities, which they term the “buffer condition”.[5]
Katsos has been cited in UN General Assembly reports and the Financial Times,[6] Washington Post,[7] Harvard Business Review,[8] and Journal of Business Ethics.[9] His work is based on direct engagement with businesses in Syria, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Colombia, Palestine, Cyprus, Lebanon, Ukraine, and China. Katsos's recent book, Ethical Leadership in Conflict and Crisis, is the most read leadership book in the Cambridge University Press Elements series.[10]
