Dr Deirdre Brady
Research interests
Management Education: the role of reflective learning journals on identifying and enhancing skills and competencies for supply chain management. My interdisciplinary research incorporates concepts from sociology, cultural studies and business. It involves identifying the relationship between creativity and business, the interconnections between commerce and art, and specifically communications, women's literary networks and connections, publishing enterprises and the global marketplace, past and present. Co-founder of Creative Business History Network, a cross-institutional and interdisciplinary network of scholars and practitioners in the creative industries. As a professional educator and lecturer, my teaching interests focus on the creative business sector to include teaching in communications, marketing leadership, macro-economics, innovation and entrepreneurship, with particular emphasis on sustainable practices.
