Teaching

Inspiring the next generation of strategic thinkers and business leaders

"Great teaching is not about filling vessels, but igniting flames of curiosity and critical thinking."

My teaching philosophy centers on creating an engaging, inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to think critically about complex strategic challenges. I believe in combining rigorous theoretical foundations with practical applications, helping students develop both analytical skills and strategic intuition.

Through interactive discussions, case studies, and real-world examples, I strive to make strategic management concepts accessible and relevant to students' future careers. My goal is to foster independent thinking while providing the tools and frameworks necessary for effective strategic analysis.
