Student supervision
To date, I have successfully supervised two PhD Theses and over 20 Master’s Theses. I currently supervise 3 PhD students and several Master students.
I supervise students in the following subjects:
- Business Model Innovation: studies that explore how organizations configure and reconfigure their business model to become or stay successful.
- Innovation management/organisational learning: studies that describe and explain how organisations learn and innovate, and assess their organisational climates with reference to climates associated in the literature with change, innovation, and creativity.
- Strategic human resource management: studies that explore HRM as a configurational system, assess HRM as a “strong system” (distinctive, consistent, consensual), and measure its impact on HRM effectiveness.
- Segmented employment management: studies that assess the consequences of combining different employment contracts (permanent vs. temporary, full vs part-time, private vs. public. etc) in the same organisation, and measuring differences between employee groups in variables such as organisational commitment, perceptions of justice, perceptions of organisational support, organisational citizenship behaviour and individual performance.
- Non-profit organisations: studies that describe and explain how these organisations manage their resources, in particular their human resources, and especially volunteers.
