About me
Currently, I am the course coordinator/lecturer of the postgraduate course People, Leadership and Performance (BUSS 5114).
Awarded UniSA Business School Top Mid-Career Teacher Award (2018). Awarded 4 Teaching and Learning Excellence Commendation Awards (2023, 2019, 2018, and 2017).
I am also a part-time invited guest academic and researcher at Meiji University Graduate School of Business Administration (GSBA), Tokyo, Japan, where I also completed part of my PhD study as a scholarship winner in the UniSA and Meiji University (Tokyo) Graduate Business School PhD exchange program. I have also developed and maintained relationships with both industry and other universities in Japan in order to facilitate collaborative activities between institutions.
I have secured grant funding of $68,623, the most recent of which was with the Australian Government (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade), ISEO # 32983 (2021) New Colombo Plan (Japan), $49,500.
I have made significant curiculum contributions to the university, having fully designed and developed 8 courses, mostly at the postgraduate level, integrating authentic and experiential learning activities and assessment, focusing on 'enterprise' and 'job ready' graduate skills and qualities. My most recent course development is the university-wide core postgraduate course People, Leadership and Performance. My courses have been at the forefront of accreditation attainment (AACSB and EQUIS) for UniSA Business, through Assurance of Learning (AoL) processes in enterprise skills for our students. I have also served as the Curriculum Leader for the Management Discipline, and was a Postgraduate Program Manager from 2016 - 2020.
My current research includes an examination of (1) Key factors for satisfying fixed revenue customers in the Japanese hotel industry, (2) The management of business strategies using FRA (Fixed Revenue Accounting) profitability analysis in mail-order, online, and traditional sales models in the medical and auxiliary industries, (3) The management of emotional labour and paradox in organizations, and implications for well-being, and (4) The management of migrant employee issues in the international hospitality industry.
My qualifications are: (1) PhD (Business and Management); (2) Master of Commerce; (3) Graduate Diploma of Business Administration; (4) Bachelor of Education; (5) Bachelor of Teaching.
I have consulted on business strategy, management, HR, and higher education, in both Japan and Australia. Other work history includes 17 years as a senior hotel manager in the hospitality industry, leading award winning organizations in the sector (Best Hotel Re-development Australian Hotels Association [AHA] Award, Best Marketed Hotel AHA Award, and Best Gaming Facilities AHA Award). I have taught in the South Australian school sector, and have been teaching at the University of South Australia since 2007. I have also consulted on, and developed curriculum, course material, and simulation programs for the international delivery of degree programs (in the areas of leadership, management, strategy, human resource management, and organizational behavior).
