Michaël Dooms

Michaël Dooms (Master in Management Engineering, Solvay Business School, University of Brussels – VUB, 2001, Magna Cum Laude) is affiliated as a senior researcher with the Solvay Business School of the University of Brussels (VUB).  His PhD thesis, to be completed in 2009, will treat the spatial and dynamic aspects of stakeholder management, with an application to large-scale capital investment projects in the transport sector.  His other research interests are in the fields of complex project evaluation in the transport sector, internationalisation strategies and corporate strategy.  He teaches management courses in international programs at the Institute of Transport and Maritime Management (ITMMA) in Antwerp as well as the Erasmus University Rotterdam, where he is the coordinator of the port economics and policy module of the MEL programme.  He has worked as a project manager and researcher on several research and consulting projects, which need a multi-disciplinary (integration of technical, economic and environmental criteria) and multi-stakeholder (public and private sector, local communities) approach, such as the Master plan 2015 for the port of Brussels, the expansion of the DHL-hub at Brussels National Airport and the Economic Development Study 2030 for the port of Antwerp. In the field of strategic management and organizational development, he was closely involved in the development of a strategic plan for the Belgian rail infrastructure manager Infrabel. In the management of the University of Brussels, he has been member of the plenary Education Council since 2002 and board member since 2004, which allowed him to closely follow the implementation of the Bologna reform. During 2005-2008, he was appointed as the vice-chairman of the Board of Directors of the University of Brussels.
