Welcome to Rae André's Authors Guild site...

Building on my work with sustainable aviation and communities, I am currently teaching global environmental sustainability. My courses in this area focus on such energy issues as peak oil and global warming, and how they affect a wide range of stakeholders. In my research, I continue to be interested in accountability issues for gray sector organizations such as quangos, government sponsored enterprises, and benefit corporations. I also work with group process and personality.

Currently serving as the President of the OBTS Teaching Society for Management Educators in a three year term, in my day job I am Professor of Organizational Behavior and Theory in the College of Business Administration at Northeastern University. I teach Leadership for Sustainability and Organizational Behavior.

I have published nine books and monographs, and my articles have appeared in such places as the Journal of Business Ethics, the Journal of Management Education, Economic Development Quarterly, The New York Times, Across the Board, the Journal of General Management, the Journal of Small Business Management, and Management International Review. I have also written many applied cases and experiential exercises for a variety of business journals and textbooks.
