David+Atkinson+Bio

David Atkinson gained his Ph.D in critical management (focussed on the Art of Management) from Lancaster University Management School in December 2006. Although he works in the commercial world, David maintains an interest in academe. Since graduation, he has reviewed papers for a number of journals, including Management Learning and Organization and Management, and recently (Oct 08) had a paper exploring dance and rhythm published in Management Decision.

David practices many things from an artistic perspective - including management! He plays guitar, paints in acrylics and is currently editing a novel, // River //// of Judgement //, he wrote in Sep/Oct 08; he is looking for a publisher and hopes to have the book on bookshelves later this year.

David's next project will be to extend his thinking on the sublime and beauty in an essay that will (in part) explore Shakespeare's play // Much Ado About Nothing //.
