Dr Rodolphe Ocler
Senior Lecturer in Business Strategy
I have been teaching strategy and qualitative research methods for over 15 years to different audiences. I joined the University of Bedfordshire in April 2011 and have been involved in the MBA and transnational education (TNE) programmes since then.
Before that I was Head of the Strategy, Management and Entrepreneurship department of the Chambery Savoy Business School and developed a training program for the International Labour Organization.
When not working, I enjoy taking care of my four cats, listening to jazz music and reading.
