Margaret Hanson’s expertise is in business ethics, business-nonprofit collaboration, corporate social responsibility, and development studies. Her academic research and publications lie at the intersection of cross-sector collaboration, driven by social impact missions. Her research has focused on the ethical challenges and social risk that multinational enterprises face in developing-country contexts characterized by institutional voids and state failure.
