Dr Yemisi Bolade-Ogunfodun is a Lecturer in Organisational Behaviour at Henley Business School. She is also the Programme Director for the Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration (PGCBA, Pharmacy).
Yemisi's academic background is in organisational behaviour. She was awarded a PhD by Henley Business School and her research specialises in the theory of organisational culture from an anthropological perspective, focusing on organisational contexts of cultural diversity such as post-merger/acquisition or multinational contexts which create incongruence in meaning systems and in values underpinning work practices.
Her collaborative research projects examine the role of culture in African entrepreneurship and management. Other research interests cover socio-cultural dimensions of work groups, qualitative research methods including ethnographic approaches to organisational research and ethical implications of cultural incongruence.
Yemisi is a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) and a faculty member of the African European Centre for Investment and Trade (AECIT), South Africa. She is a member of many professional associations in the field of management, such as the Academy of Management, the Africa Academy of Management and the European Academy of Management.

She is also the Programme Director and Academic Lead on the Henley Business School Massive Open Online Programme: Managing People.
