Course Website:
My name is David Pender. I am a management practitioner and an adjunct lecturer at the 成人大片 Business School (UABS). I have had a very wide range of business experience over the past 35 years.
I prefer to be called “David”.
I spent 13 years practising on my own account as a Chartered Accountant and then held senior management positions in distribution management and general management within the financial services industry (12 years). Since then, I have practised as principal of Knowledge Perspectives, a consulting collaborative that applies the principles of knowledge and intellectual capital management in a variety of fields: performance improvement, transition management, M&A, strategic direction and mapping and value creation. Clients cover both private and public sectors in Australia, Asia and North America. Improving negotiation outcomes comprises an interesting and rewarding part of my work. Negotiation skills are increasingly important in the knowledge economy.
I am also an enrolled PhD student in the UABS undertaking my research in understanding the relationship between the degree of collaboration that exists within a company and its social network structure.
I hold a degree in Economics and a MBA from the 成人大片 and I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
Apart from this course, I also teach courses in Knowledge Management and Fundamentals of Leadership in the Business School’s MBA program and teach extensively in the UABS Executive Education programs.Course Timetable

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
