David Jones MSc, MSc, BSc (Hons), FHEA, PGCE (LTHE)

Principal Lecturer

• Department of Finance Accounting And Business Systems

Summary

I lecture across a range of disciplines in this field but specialise in the areas of finance and information systems. Information systems and their implications for organisation behaviour are my main area of interest and research for my DBA. My activities span all levels within the university, under and postgraduate as well as professional learners. I work with both full and part time students and an increasing number of international participants which makes for an enriched learning and working environment. In particular I have worked with the TARC programme for Malaysia for the past nine years. As well as being course leader for Business and Operations Management which is part of our extensive undergraduate business portfolio, I hold a number of module leaderships across all levels including professional courses for ACCA and CIMA and am currently part of the revalidation team. I hold an MSc from Sheffield Hallam University and an MSc from the University of Sunderland and I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy which underpins my commitment towards continuous personal and professional development. Prior to working for Sheffield Hallam, my working life provided me with first-hand experience of information systems development and implementation and I still take an active part in the running of my family's business activities, some of which have been established for over 60 years. In addition, I act as training auditor and advisor to organisations which specialise in the transportation and health care sectors.

My current academic role is that of Programme Leader for the Post Graduate portfolio within the department of Finance, Accounting and Business Systems and am also the Lead for the departments relationships, accreditations and exemptions with a range of professional bodies.
