Bruni-Bossio’s research involves qualitative methods using interviews and focus groups to capture the informal aspects of governance.
He has also collaborated with multiple faculty at the University of Saskatchewan including members from multiple departments at Edwards, Political Studies, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, College of Education, and Indigenous Studies, as well as at universities across Canada.
Bruni-Bossio recently published an article on the undocumented economy in collaboration with colleague Dr. Lee Swanson, focusing on governance at the regional level that examined decisions made by communities in Northern Saskatchewan.
“...if we keep looking at economies with one brush, if we do not investigate informal dynamics and understand what is happening, we may be missing something important such as the undocumented economy."
Bruni-Bossio has also authored and co-authored a series of publications on board governance. One publication focuses on helping boards understand the business model of the organization, while another examines principals to guide the relationship between the board and management. A more recent publication highlights the importance of boards agreeing on a set of values when making decisions.
Discussing the social impact of his research, Bruni-Bossio highlights that, "at a regional level, if we keep looking at economies with one brush, if we do not investigate informal dynamics and understand what is happening, we may be missing something important such as the undocumented economy. At an organizational level we cannot assure performance by boards by applying generic policies. We have to look more deeply into how boards make decisions."
Bruni-Bossio’s interest in this area has also influenced his work in the classroom. For example, he collaborated with a colleague at the Edwards School of Business on a board governance simulation that engages students in role-playing, to learn through experience, and discusses the informal dynamics.
