Of the 10 modules in my MBA, Strategic Management is in my top 3 favourites. Thanks to Melanie who made the subject so interesting by teaching Business Strategy from both, theoretical and practitioner perspectives! Melanie is one of my go-to lecturers at Kingston Business School. She guided me well when I got onboarded as a young lecturer at the university, on what to do, and what to avoid. I can vouch that anyone would love to work with her because she's a jovial person and also someone who can get things done the right way.

It was a great experience to learn strategy with simulation from Melanie because of the thought-provoking concepts she brought up in her lectures, which kept us engaged and comfortable. Her diverse way of teaching and expressing the concepts intrigued my problem-solving skills and challenged me to think outside the box. Thank you for the lovely experience.
