Marc Orlitzky is Chair in Management at the UniSA Business School. As full professor, Marc Orlitzky conducts research and teaches in the areas of strategic management, business ethics, and epistemology. 

Marc Orlitzky holds a PhD (summa cum laude) in Business Administration and a B.S.B.A. (summa cum laude) in International Finance.  Marc Orlitzky’s current research focuses on environmental management. His research has been published in many premier international management journals, including Organizational Research Methods, Business Ethics Quarterly, Academy of Management Perspectives, Journal of Business Ethics, Academy of Management Learning and Education (AMLE), Personnel Psychology, and Organization Studies.

In 2004, Marc Orlitzky has been recognised by winning the Moskowitz award for outstanding quantitative study in the field of social investing.  In addition, he has received the 2001 Best Article prize awarded by the International Association for Business & Society in association with California Management Review.  His meta-analysis of corporate social-financial performance has become the most highly cited article ever published in the journal Organization Studies.  Recently, he published articles on moral psychology and the unintended consequences of corporate social responsibility. In 2016, Marc Orlitzky and a team of junior researchers received a grant from the Industry Engagement Funding Scheme to continue their industry-relevant research.  With an L-index of 6.71 (see Belikov & Belikov, 2015), Marc Orlitzky has contributed to many of the ongoing successes of the business school.

Marc Orlitzky has engaged local and international industry through his involvement in the establishment of the Asia–Pacific Network for Sustainable Development (with Sukhbir Sandhu, Tracey Dodd, and Sunil Savur).   Building on his positions at AGSM/UNSW, the University of Auckland, and Penn State Altoona, Marc Orlitzky brings more than 20 years of experience in Management to the UniSA Business School.
