I regularly supervise BSc and MSc thesis work in the fields of organizational behaviour, leadership, consumer behaviour, and cross cultural management.
My teaching style is problem oriented and very interactive. I pay great attention to help students to apply the theories and concepts to real life situations, and encourage them to gain new perspectives and experiment with them in the safe classroom setting. I often involve students in practical exercises, role plays, case discussions via creating narratives, and other activities in an attempt to help them familiarise with and engage with the curriculum. This approach often helps them to understand abstract concepts and learn them in a somehow ‘playful’ manner not even realising how complex the theories are.
