Chasing dreams is good, but without the right direction, you cannot accomplish them

I am a passionate researcher in the field of MIS  and Franchising, specialising in informed online business, e-commerce, and the influence of digital communication and interventions. My focus spans a variety of topics, ranging from user acceptance  and strategic management to the disclosure of performance issues and climate change. In essence, anything related to behaviour and decision making, as well as its support, captures my interest.  I actively work to integrate these principles into our research to promote an inclusive approach. In addition, I am an experienced teacher. From being a tutor to coordinating courses, I’ve helped students develop skills that go beyond the classroom.

I want my students to think creatively about problems so that they're better equipped to use critical thinking skills outside the classroom. I encourage every student to ask questions and utilize resources to improve their chances of success.

I believe that everyone has a role to play to create a better world. As each students have their own unique capabilities and talents that they can contribute to society, it is my privilege to inspire them with ideas, guidance and stimulating environment where students will develop confidence and at the same time being humble and respectable to others, enjoy learning experience, and show their commitment, responsibilites and care towards other human beings. As such, I always encourage my students to speak up their minds, to be themselves, to be brave to try new things, not afraid of making mistakes and learning from it, as I am also in the process of learning in this big classroom of of life. ” — Dr Khairol Anuar Ishak, Senior Lecturer
