Research Specialisations
David’s interdisciplinary research activities and expertise are traversing the International Business, International Human Resource Management, Cross-Cultural Management and Organisational Behaviour disciplines, and are organised around four main themes:
- Expatriate Management, Global Mobility and international assignments.
- Cross-Cultural Management research within an international business management context.
- Global Talent Management.
- Qualitative research methodology and intercultural field-research.
Theoretically, David draws upon identity-construction, social constructionism, social categorisation, relationality, epistemic reflexivity and Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice. Geographically, his research interests predominantly centre around East-Asia, Southeast-Asia, Scandinavia and the U.S.
He has conducted extensive fieldwork, interviewing international managers, expatriates and public-policy elites in Hong Kong, South-Korea, the U.S., Brazil, Bulgaria, Belgium, China, Dubai, Malaysia, Myanmar, Egypt, Taiwan and Norway. A secondary area of research interest encompasses American think tanks and their China-policy research expertise as well as identity and cross-cultural aspects in U.S. foreign policy towards China.
Publications & Research Collaboration
David’s research has appeared in international and peer-reviewed ABS rated journals, including: Cross Cultural & Strategic Management; Human Resource Development International; International Studies of Management & Organization; Personnel Review; Scandinavian Journal of Management; and Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management.
David currently collaborates with the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency (NRA) and a leading Norwegian Multinational Enterprise in addition to several co-authors from Denmark, Hong Kong, Australia, Bulgaria, Belgium, Germany, Myanmar, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Serbia, Canada, the Philippines and the UK on various research projects and co-authored papers.
He is regularly invited to present his work at international academic conferences, such as the European Academy of Management, Academy of International Business, European International Business Academy and European Group for Organizational Studies. David reviews on an ad-hoc basis for several 3* (and lower) ABS rated journals.
PhD Supervision/Examination
David has co-supervised one PhD student to successful completion (Exeter, UK – examined by Prof Charles Harvey, Newcastle University Business School, and Prof Stefan Böhm, Exeter) – and served as an External PhD Examiner (Leicester Business School, De Montfort University, UK). He welcomes queries regarding PhD supervision from those having research interests relating to expatriates working and living abroad in addition to intercultural challenges in international work-life – particularly, studies proposed as a qualitative research endeavour.

David continues to receive very high student satisfaction scores on his teaching, and feels very passionate about contributing to his students’ learning and making learning-processes relevant for the increasingly competitive global job-market. Through deploying different teaching methods, he brings his international and intercultural research regarding international business practitioners and companies into the classroom. He particularly emphasises developing the student’s critical analysis and ‘out-of-the-box’ problem solving skills, in addition to self-reflexivity and intercultural appreciation – through active use of case studies.
David is a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (UK), and has previously acted as programme director for an undergraduate degree (Exeter) as well as managed and developed new modules/courses at the MBA, postgraduate and undergraduate levels (Exeter, Coventry).
