Dr Karina Pavlisa is a Lecturer in International Business Management at the University of Bristol Business School. Her scholarship is at the intersection of management and economic sociology, with interest in international comparative perspective. Dr Pavlisa’s research and teaching broadly covers management and international business in the context of social and economic factors within business and society. Her recent research, centred on the social structures of economy, professional fields, and the strategic interests of professional class, focuses on the implications for individuals’ professional identity and social inequality. Dr Pavlisa’s current work, inspired and informed by the theory of practice, critical perspectives in management and wider social issues, focuses on the social structures as the structures of accumulation and looks into the role of an individual within these structures alongside the implications for managerial practice, business and society.
