I am a lecturer working in business education, with interests that meet around feasibility, decision-making, research methods and the responsible use of data and AI. I am particularly interested in the point where a student has to move beyond knowing a concept and decide what to do with it.
For me, that distinction matters. Business education can become too comfortable when students are rewarded mainly for recognising the correct framework or reproducing a definition. Those things have a place, especially at the beginning of a course, but they are not enough on their own. Students also need practice in working with incomplete information, defending assumptions, revising an argument and accepting that a reasonable answer may still be open to criticism.
My teaching therefore changes with the character of the course. Some subjects require technical accuracy and repeated practice. Others benefit from cases, projects, debate or analysis of competing choices. I prefer this kind of structured flexibility to the idea that one method is automatically more modern or more effective than another.
The immediate subject may be feasibility, strategy, economics, research or another area of business. Underneath the subject, however, I usually return to the same habits: read carefully, distinguish evidence from assumption, calculate when calculation is needed, explain your reasoning, and take responsibility for the conclusion you reach.
I do not think business education should be organised as if every student is preparing for the same corporate career. Students may become employees, business owners, freelancers, entrepreneurs or academics. These paths overlap, but they do not demand exactly the same combination of skills, confidence and judgment.
Part of this site is practical: students need a stable place to find course information and materials. Part of it is archival: projects, presentations and teaching ideas are easier to improve when they are documented. The rest is simply a place to think in public about education, business and the questions that sit between them.
