Research Interests
My research interests are the managerial and strategic issues associated with the adoption and diffusion of innovations as well as the innovation decision-making process. My research has sought to identify the drivers and inhibitors in the decision-making process of adopting innovations and the impact of those drivers and inhibitors on the process’ duration. Much of my work also examines these innovations with respect to cultural influences, both on an organizational and international level.

Teaching Philosophy
Learning is a dynamic process that involves both teachers and students and should be a pleasant experience for both. It is the role of the teacher to provide both direction and a positive atmosphere in the classroom to enable learning and encourage participation. I have always had an extremely good rapport with students, which I leverage to create an environment that elicits confidence and peak performance among my students. The teacher’s role is much more than presenting material. The teacher empowers the student with knowledge and the ability to retrieve and apply what has been learned. It is also the role of the teacher to incorporate practical applications to complement the latest theoretical concepts. Since technology and theory are continuously introduced and enhanced, it is imperative that class materials reflect contemporary trends so that students are able to apply cutting-edge concepts to real business contexts.
