Personal background and professional experience:
I have been committed to business for some years now. My first degree was in Management
with Information Systems from the University of Leeds, I then received an MSc in Business
Information Technology and a PhD in Business both from the University of Manchester. I was
also an army engineer officer and had internships in a bank and an accounting firm. More
pertinent to what we are doing here is that I have been teaching business in higher education
for eight years now. In addition to this university I have taught at the University of Manchester
and the University of Mannheim.
I have been teaching online for four years now on various programmes including one MOOC. I
have also experienced online education as a student as I have attended three courses online
that took four months together. I appreciate the challenges students face online but I also
appreciate how you will become better professionals when you overcome them to become
effective and enjoy your work.
In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, watching sports and using whatever
technology or gadget I can get my hands on.

Style of Supervision
While the dissertation is the students work it is important that as an advisor I review their work
give them feedback. I don’t want to be overbearing but I want to make sure it has the highest
possibility of success. The delivery is as important as the information conveyed and the end
product must be current and of master level at this reputable university. I can answer questions
12
but it is more effective if the student gives me something to review and respond. I try to adapt
to the student’s needs but I certainly want to see a significant effort to create something that
represents the culmination of your university education.

My interdisciplinary educational background has allowed me to supervise successfully to
completion numerous undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations and consultancy projects.
Having been awarded a BA in Political Science and Public Administration (specialized in
International Relations), a MBA (thesis: in Crisis Management) and a PhD on Sponsorship and
Public Relations gives me the opportunity to offer perspective to student research focusing on
the above areas as I can sense quite easily where the student is coming from.
Being an academic hasn’t kept me away from professional practice. I have been offering
consultancy to companies to various companies on topics of my expertise. An academic
should have an overall knowledge of his/her discipline which makes the blend between
theory and practice necessary.
Finally as I’ve been undertaking University leadership positions for the last 5 years (i.e. Deputy
Programme Leader, Academic Advisor, Programme Leader) I have been taking extremely
seriously my pastoral care responsibilities. All students have different responsibilities, needs
and sensitivities that (occasionally) have to be addressed.

Research Interests
My research focuses on almost each and every aspect of Public Relations (Sponsorship, Crisis
Management, Online PR, CSR, PR Measurement, International PR and Education & PR). My
main areas of investigation are considered Corporate Social Responsibility, Sponsorship and
Crisis Management with Meenaghan and Coombs being (among others) the top researchers on
my list in each area respectively. In addition Relationship Management is also one of the main
20
fields of my research interests and “maybe” the only way out of PR’s immeasurability.
Public Relations measurement has been high in my research agenda ever since I started my PhD
in 2003.
Overall, due to my research I have developed strong links with both practitioners and academics
of the field of Public Relations and Corporate Communication.
My research interests in many cases exceed the above areas when I sense that there is
important social impact behind a research initiative (for this reason in the past I have worked on
papers focusing on Gender Equality, Woman Entrepreneurship, Costly Diseases and more).
My supervision follows a student-centred approach. I try to deliver information/kowledge in

small “chunks”, thus enabling the students to digest it more easily, aiming to transport the
information from sensor memory and short term memory to long term memory (Atkinson &
Shiffrin, 1968 cited in Izawa, 1999). These small pieces of information are just a small chunk (or
block) of knowledge
which is directly linked with the “chunks” of previous and next session(s). The choices made for the
development of my approach are clearly affected by the Cognivist’s (eg Piaget) and Constructivist’s
(Bruner, Vygotsky) philosophy of learning. The development of my approach is also affected by student-
focused learning approaches since it mainly aims to: (a) motivate students to engage actively with their
research, (b) change their way of thinking by affecting at the same time their preconceptions and
misjudgments and (c) direct them in critically interpreting what is researched (e.g Biggs & Tang, 2007,
Iborra, 2007, Davydov & Kerr, 1995).
My approach accommodates learning needs of students based on pedagogic theories; the

University’s strategic plan, the developments in the field (both academic and professional) and
the developments in Higher Education. I firmly believe that as lecturers our main responsibility
is to generate (and not feed) knowledge and to assist students explore and meet their
potentials.
I do not have a “one size for all” supervision schedule; however my recommendation is to meet
occasionally with my student (following of course University time regulations) in order to
determine that the student is on track and most importantly to discuss progress and research
directions.

I have a PhD in Finance and an MSc in Money, Banking and Finance from the University of
Birmingham. I am an academic associate in the International Hellenic University while holding
visiting positions in various other institutions. During the last 8 years I have taught subjects in
Finance and Accounting mainly at a postgraduate level. I do consulting work for public

governance issues as well as in business process restructuring and business consultancy projects
for public firms, organisations and SMEs. I often deliver life-long learning seminars to adults in

Research Interests
My broad research interests lie in the areas of corporate finance, institutional investing and
corporate governance. My current research agenda focuses more specifically on investments,
corporate restructurings and entrepreneurial finance. During my career I have supervised over 60
dissertations, half of which have been at graduate level. The topics that I supervised include
finance, corporate governance, accounting and entrepreneurship related topics.
Through my experience I believe that a good dissertation advisor should be able to create a
supportive environment where the student will feel comfortable to liaise continuously knowing
that the advisor is always accessible. I tend to ask students to stick to the mutually agreed
deadlines and seek for feedback often enough so as to achieve their prescribed goals.
Encouragement, timely responses, acknowledgment of the difficulties students’ face are all
imperative for a fruitful collaboration.

Prior to taking up a career in academia, I worked at Leatherhead Food Research Association

where I led business improvement research and consultancy for clients in the food and drinks
industry. My experience in industry has been critical to my academic career and I enjoy working
at the interface of academic knowledge and practical business application.
I have published widely in the fields of supply chain management, technology management and
total quality management. My most recent research has focused on supply chain and
operations management in developing economies, particularly in Asia. I have also acted as an
adviser to several organisations in different industries in the UK and mainland Europe, and I
present my research regularly at leading international conferences.

Research Interests
My research interests are in the field of Operations and Supply chain management. Much of my recent
focus has been on sustainable supply chains as well as how technology enables interaction and business-
to-business relationships within the supply chain. My research has increasingly examined Supply chain
management within the context of developing economies which is driven not just by increasing
globalisation but also by a need to improve the quality of life. This emerging theme has enabled me to
build strong research collaborations with academic colleagues in Asia, Africa and the Centre for
Organisational Excellence Research (COER) at Massey University in New Zealand. A separate theme of
my research is in the field of total quality management with a particular focus on benchmarking and
business excellence.
I am a supportive supervisor that believes in regular contact with my dissertations students. I also
encourage my students to develop critical analysis skills in order to improve their academic contribution
and distinguish their dissertation. My approach aims to enable my students carry out the best project that
they are capable of.

I am a Programme Leader at a UK university where I have been working since 2004. I previously worked
in advertising, pharmaceuticals and the charity sector. I started my advertising career at Grey
Worldwide, a New York based global advertising agency, and progressed to become Senior Account
Director at PUBLICIS Groupe and Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising. I worked with organisations (Nestlé,
P&G, etc.) of varied size and nature of business, both in the commercial and non-profit sector. In the
pharmaceuticals sector, I worked in Rhone Poulenc Rorer, which is now known as Sanofi-aventis after a
merger. Because of my interest in the non-profit sector and entrepreneurship in the later stage of
professional career, I held a National Lottery funded position in Swindon (UK) in the charity sector for
some time and was a shareholding director of a limited company as well.

The first thing is to understand the strength and weaknesses of the dissertation student and then
consider those of both the advisor and the student to select an achievable research target. The advisor
is keen to utilize the modern communication technology for continuous communication between the
student and him because without continuous communication a dissertation may become a
frustration. To him, continuous communication also facilitates continuous motivation for the
student for preparing the research proposal and implementing the research in a timely manner. The
advisor considers the research student as a young scholar. He suggests the ways and helps to locate
the necessary resources to improve and progress with all required components of the dissertation.
Dr. Mohan likes to celebrate the success of the dissertation student as a joint achievement.

I am an Assistant Professor of Business Administration at School of Management and Administrative
Science, Sulelyman Sah University in Istanbul, Turkey. I've received my PhD in Management and
Organization from University of Turku, Finland and I have an MBA in HRM from Golden Gate
University, San Francisco, US. I have about ten years of professional experience in HRM (mostly in the
US) and I have extensive teaching experience most of it focused on cross-cultural and human resource
management. My work provides a link between international business, cross-cultural and talent
management. I have lived, worked, taught and conducted research in several countries (seven as of
now) – besides the US, I have spent most time in Finland, the Czech Republic and Ecuador.

Research Interests
Global HRM, global mindset, cross-cultural competence development, knowledge creation, social capital
and social networks. I focus mostly on the cross-cultural aspects of international management, in particular
on global social capital and knowledge creation. In addition, I am interested in innovative learning practices
in international business education, and the role of informal networks in the cross-cultural competence and
global mindset. Currently, I am involved in multi-level cross-cultural study that focuses on social capital
development and learning in multicultural environment.
146
I see my main role as a Dissertation Advisor in supporting students in independent discovery and
application of knowledge in their fields of interest. I support the constructivist approach to
teaching and learning, and take it further to interconnected knowledge creation. I believe that
mentoring diverse groups of international students and adjusting my mentoring style to the
learners’ needs is my main strength. I am looking forward to helping students in their exciting
journey towards completion of their degrees and finishing dissertations by guiding them
towards selecting a research topic, formulating appropriate questions, choosing the most
feasible methodology and providing timely, constructive and formative feedback throughout
the whole process. I see myself as supportive, collegial, friendly and encouraging.
