Biography
Expertise summary: Organisational Behaviour, Management Learning and Education, Knowledge Translation and Adaptation Frameworks, Business Ethics. Research Summary: My principal research interests are in management education and learning, leadership in private and public organisations in China and the diffusion and translation of management ideas in time and space. Theoretically, my research is informed by institutional theory.
Research Interest
I am interested in how to involve students and other users in the translation and adaptation of theories, knowledge and ideas, as an alternative to delivering ready-made and pre-packaged theories. I am interested in exploring how user-centred translation could be adopted and supported as an interactive approach for helping students learn to become independent translators and learners. I am also interested in how organisational strategies are translated within organisations.
