Biography edit
Hawk received a B.Arch. in engineering from Iowa State University in 1971, a M.Arch. and a M.C.Planning in fine arts from the University of Pennsylvania in 1974, and a Ph.D. in systems sciences in corporate planning from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, in 1979. His dissertation Regulation of Environmental Deterioration was Chaired by Russell L. Ackoff and supervised by Eric Trist.[3][4] Its research basis was on the 1975 US Legal Order system of regulation leading to climate change and other unmitigated consequences. The research proposed "Negotiated Order" as a more viable way to avoid ethical cynicism found in US trained lawyers and lead to serious reduction in the human impact on the larger environment of the world. Twenty major companies and ten nations helped with the research done via the Stockholm School of Economics. Sweden's Prime Minister presented the results to OECD.
Before starting his academic career in 1974 Hawk worked in industry after serving in the U.S. Army in the Republic of Vietnam from 1966 to 1968. From 1968 to 1974 he had a series of jobs such as design engineer for ACCO Loudon; architectural designer in Darmstadt, Germany; farm manager in Brighton, Iowa; Civic designer and planning officer at Westminster City Council, London, England in 1971-72; and designer and corporate researcher for multiple public and private organizations in the Philadelphia region from 1972 to 1974.[2]
Hawk started working as research associate at the Wharton School in 1974. He was a visiting researcher and faculty member at the Stockholm School of Economics from 1975 to 1977, then a visiting faculty member until 1996. From 1978 to 1981 he was an assistant professor at Colleges of Engineering and Design of the Iowa State University, where he coordinated the graduate studies in Architecture. In 1981 he started at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, was an associate dean in 1983-85 while designing several graduate programs. He became NJIT's only dual professor in 1991 in management at the School of Management,[5] and in architecture at the College of Architecture and Design at NJIT.[6] From 2006 to 2008 he also served as Dean at the School of Management.[7] From 1989 to 1991 he was on leave from NJIT and back at the Institute of International Business of the Stockholm School of Economics, and from 1998 to 1999 was on another leave and with the Helsinki University of Technology[2]
From 1994 to 1996 Hawk was at Bell Labs AT&T as an Industrial Ecology Fellow developing new models for reduced pollution via industrial redesign.[1] In 2001, he was honored as a Master Teacher at NJIT.[8] He serves as Senior Adviser to one of China's largest firms, China State Construction. In 2003 hawk began serving two years on the Congressional Commission set up to study the role of business in government leadership: Committee on Business Strategies for Public Capital Investment, for the National Academy of Sciences.[9]
In 2013 Hawk was fired from NJIT due to alleged ethics violations. [10]
