Established research background in the area of SMEs and their relationship with banks. Provision of advice and consultancy to HM Government ministries and the Bank of England. A growing research focus on entrepreneurship education, knowledge and technology transfer and also on regional economic development including the establishment of electronic on-line surveys, such as the UK Business Barometer (www.ukbb.ac), the UK Business Advisers Barometer (www.ukbab.ac) and the Integrative Learning Barometer (www.learningbarometer.com). Co-developer of 'Ingenuity - A Guide for Clear Thinking' and 'Ingenuity'.

Areas of Expertise
Radical Innovation Thinking; Technology Transfer; Entrepreneurship; Finance for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs); Banks and their Relationship with SMEs; Electronic Business Surveys; Entrepreneurial Skills Development

As well as working and publishing in the research areas cited above I am also interested in some of the pedagogical issues that are emerging in Entrepreneurship Education and the relative effectiveness of different approaches. The Integrative Learning emphasis developed by Professor Edward Lumsdaine and myself is demonstrated in our recent book 'Entrepreneurship from Creativity to Innovation - Effective Thinking Skills for a Changing World'. Aspects of the coverage can be viewed online at http://www.trafford.com/06-2229. The online surveys that are used to gather information from SMEs and Business Advisers can be seen at http://www.ukbb.ac and http://www.ukbab.ac.
