Professional Biography
John McArdle is a Professor of Accounting and Tax at Salem State University. He writes about how regulatory environments impact business strategy, how regulation and tax policy shape social and firm behavior, and about place-based and constructivist pedagogy. His research explores the coevolution of regulatory policy and industry dynamics, and his work examines the societal effects of regulation with an emphasis on dignity and equity.
Dr. McArdle has a number of international partnerships. He is a Fulbright Scholar, working with University Isa Boletini Mitrovica in Kosovo to assess and develop higher education programs and university strategy. He also holds a Visiting faculty appointment at the University of Calgary, where he has taught courses in New Venture Law and Regulation, and is the co-Principal Investigator of a pedagogy development and assessment project.
Research Interests and Current Projects
Dr. McArdle's research focuses on the ways regulations shape society and business strategy. He has engaged in a multi-year project to assess the impacts of new regulations on emerging industries in Canada, which has resulted in several publications. He has also conducted extensive research in the Western Balkans, exploring how legal and regulatory frameworks shape business strategies and socioeconomic outcomes in the region. Dr. McArdle's recent work centers on business and human rights, particularly in post-conflict regions.
He is the co-creator of Street Challenge, www.streetchallenge.ca, a grant funded trans-disciplinary pedagogy that employs evidence-based best practices in community-engaged teaching to understand the relationships and perspectives of stakeholders in community ecosystems. Both Street Challenge and its successor project, the Place-Based Learning Network, have has received over $85,000 in grant funding and have resulted in an open educational resource as well as a stream of research articles and workshops. The projects have a unique focus on fostering and supporting community-engaged student research as a central component of the pedagogy. The project team has convened a monthly research "community of practice" for educators looking to develop and publish community-engaged research work.
Since 2016 he has delivered over 65 peer-reviewed research presentations at academic conferences in the United States, Canada, Ireland, France, Norway, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. His work has been published in the Journal of Canadian Studies, Journal of Comparative Urban Law and Policy, Journal of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy, Journal of Taxation, Entrepreneurship Education & Pedagogy, Central European Business Review, and, Management Teaching Review.

For over a decade he managed a consulting firm that advised Fortune 100 companies on employment and compliance issues and built a boutique employee benefits advising practice. He was also the Fels Fund Fellow at the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia, where he advised clients on employment and education discrimination issues. Finally, he served two terms as Commissioner and Chairman of the Board of Elections in Somerset County, NJ.
