Mr Christopher Matthews

My name is Chris Matthews and I am a Senior Lecturer and Associate Head in the ILSM Division based at LBSU Business School. Prior to joining South Bank, I was a Senior Lecturer in Strategy and Business Skills, and Course Leader for Global Business MBA at Coventry University London Campus.
I gained my MBA from the University of Hertfordshire in 1991.
Prior to moving into Business, Leadership and Management education, I enjoyed a successful 35 year career creating, developing and running successful multi-national, leading-edge technology businesses, managing operations in the USA, Europe and the Middle East.

Having introduced blended learning delivery into the MBA Curriculum at Coventry University my research interests are in the areas of the effects of technology and simulation-based learning on the student experience, and the provision of business and enterprise education for SME's particularly the family business.
In addition, I am currently in the research phase of my Professional Doctorate in Education (EdD) researching theory and practice in a field associated with social justice and inclusive education, namely equality of opportunity for mature students.
I am an evangelist for lifelong learning.
