Michael Netzley’s Summary

My career has been a balance of university teaching with industry consulting, though I am primarily a scholar (on the business school faculty at Singapore Management University). I have a love for both corporate communication and leadership.

More recently I have developed a passion for social media. While trying to write two blogs and record two podcasts on a semi-regular basis, I am deeply curious about how the web 2.0 technolgies are changing how corporations are talking with and listening to stakeholders.

My executive education and private consulting clients include Intercontinental Hotel Group, IBM, SUN, Koram Bank, US Bancorp, Key Bank, Singapore's CPF, Singapore's MFA, GIC, 3M, Motorola, Singtel, Telus, Text 100, NOL, Shell, and CARE.

Increasingly I am spending my time on the speaking circuit, and have been a regular presenter in Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, and London.

Before moving to Singapore in 2002, I had the honor of working around the world in places as diverse as Argentina, Germany, Finland, Slovenia, and Japan. I spent six years teaching in the MBA program at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management while also completing my PhD in communication studies.

I have co-authored three books in English, had two translated to simplified Chinese, and authored an instructional CD-ROM. I have been academic advisor on more than 50 original case studies, and currently I am writing my fourth book about corporate communication in Asia.

Michael Netzley’s Interests:

Professionally, I am passionate about corporate communication and leadership. I love case-method teaching. I am also dedicated to social media and studying how these 2.0 technologies are changing the way companies interact with stakeholders. Outside the office I love to cook, scuba dive, and spend time with my family. My life-long journey has been to read the world's best literature, and I hope I have another 40 years to keep working on that task. A little Blue Note jazz to fill in the gaps, and I am a happy man.
