Hello!

I am a Professor in the Management & Marketing department of the College of Business & Economics at Qatar University. Before this, I worked in the Nanyang Business School(#22 in FT ranking), Nanyang Technological University (#12 QS World Global Ranking), 1994-2009. I completed my Ph.D. from the Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship Department, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, USA (3rd in Management research). My undergraduate Economics(Hons) degree is from LSR, Delhi University (#1 in Arts & Education) and I have an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIMs are #1 for Management postgraduate degree).

I conduct research on the strategy of firms. I have examined issues in, and published about, corporate governance, entrepreneurship, strategy, sustainability, and technology management. I have published in journals (including A* journals – Academy of Management Review, Management Science, Strategic Management Journal), received research grants (including UREP), and presented at international conferences (such as the Academy of Management).

I teach/ have taught courses on various aspects of strategic management, entrepreneurship, organization theory, international business, innovation and technology, for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral-level students, and for executives in business and government. I have been trained in the case method at the Harvard Business School (PCMPCL, 2007). I have used a wide variety of teaching methods, from pioneering the use of simulations in both the Nanyang Business School and College of Business & Economics, to adopting the fully flipped classroom with original lecture recordings, in-class activities, quizzes, and exams.

Two highlights of my service work at universities:

i. Two Academic Program Review reports (comprehensive assessment of the program including visit by reviewers with response to their feedback and action plan) for the Management program in CBE, QU – 1st APR report, 2012-13 and 2nd APR report 2017-18.  ii. MBA (Strategic Management) Director, Nanyang Business School, from its inception to 2009.
