WHEN: 12:00 - 12:50PM, TUESDAY 30 APRIL 2019
WHERE: D101, D BLOCK, OTAGO POLYTECHNIC, HARBOUR TERRACE, DUNEDIN

Dr Steve Atkins will present two short talks. His topics are “Relative Deprivation Theory and the Living Wage,” and “Optimising competency profiles for staffing humanitarian aid teams.”

Stephen is a Principal Lecturer in our School of Business and the Research Coordinator (Business) in the College of Art, Design, & Architecture. He lectures in business research methods, societal/ethical issues in business management, and organisational behaviour. Stephen's research interests include personality-fit-in-the-workplace, cross-cultural/mixed-methods R&D for career-guidance, and cognitions for social marketing. He also undertakes teamwork optimisation and team mission analysis in regards to humanitarian projects overseas and more-generally, volunteer staffing research.

Our SIMBA seminar series is on the last Tuesday of the month during term time, always at 12 noon and in room D101. SIMBA stands for Supervision, Informatics, Management, Business and Analytics and the series covers a wide variety of interdisciplinary topics.
