Research Interests
Kevan’s research interest is in the area of strategy. Specifically investigating how to develop a unified strategic theory that can be of used to both academic researchers and theoreticians as well as practitioners. The aim is to develop a rigorous and relevant theory of strategy based on a process ontology that emerges from a pragmatic epistemology centred around a post-postitivistic, contingency methodology that concentrates on developing bespoke anti-fragile strategies that benefit from unpredictability, complexity and dynamism in the general task and organisational environments.
