Prof Nicola Shadbolt
Associate Professor in Farm & Agribusiness Management
New Zealand
Associate Professor in Farm & Agribusiness Management and have been at Massey for twelve years.
Specific research interests include strategic management and business analysis. Have recently been made a Fellow of the NZ Institute of Primary Industry Management. In 2005 published a textbook, ‘Farm Management in New Zealand’, that was jointly produced with Dr Sandra Martin from Lincoln University. Before joining Massey I spent 15 years working in a variety of jobs in government, agribusiness and consultancy.
Outside academia I am involved in four equity partnerships, two are for forestry, one a dairy farm and the fourth is a 1300 hectare pastoral farm on which we produce milk, beef, mutton, wool, venison, velvet and timber. The farm business has just won the Supreme Farm Environment Award for our region.
