Research and Consultancy

Marketing research includes:

Social comparison theory and the effects of ideal media images on the acceptance of cosmetic surgery. Contemporary social media tools such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Snap Chat, television shows, movies, countless advertisements, as well as other media images have revealed a radical increase in cultural expectations for attractiveness. The aim of this study is to investigate relationships between internalised cultural beliefs for attractiveness, such as objectified body consciousness, state self-esteem, sociocultural attitudes towards appearance, and acceptance of cosmetic surgery. 

Pedagogy research includes:

Business Simulation Games - investigating how business simulation games can enhance the traditional learning environment and improve business decision making skills

Flipped classroom delivery – changing the archetypal lecture and homework elements of a course to encourage learner accountability.
