Dr. Mark Toon is a specialist in interorganisational relationship governance and co-ordination. Mark is a Senior Lecturer in Marketing and Strategy at Cardiff Business School where he teaches International Business. He is an experienced educator at undergraduate, post-graduate and executive levels. Mark is the Programme Director for MSc Marketing and the Director of Assessment and Feedback at Cardiff Business School.

Mark brings his industrial experience in management to his research and seeks to apply theory to industrial problems. These ‘problems’ centre on interorganisational relationships in complex settings and span a host of sectors. Mark has contributed understanding in construction and policy development in healthcare. Recent work in aviation seeks to apply his knowledge of organisational coordination to complex collaborations such as jet zero councils and taskforces. Working with colleagues internationally Mark has analysed the effectiveness of council and taskforce efforts to achieve net zero in aviation. “Overcoming differences in agendas and setting up collaborative forums is often the starting point to a successful project” he says. “but establishing meaningful common goals with a set of values attached seems to be the key to success time and again across different sectors.” His focus on value co-creation in complex alliances reflects a keen interest in promoting better understanding of the challenges organisations face when pursuing multiple agendas. Trust among counterparts and shared values are central to the collaborative endeavours that Mark investigates. They become essential in realising visionary projects. Work in this area extends insight for both practitioners and academicians alike.
