External Examiner, Bath University

by David Kreps · February 27, 2015

In February 2015, David acted as External Examiner to DBA Candidate, Gerard Culley, whose thesis was on Cloud Computing in Higher Education. There was a good deal of excellent material and David was pleased to recommend, after some minor corrections, that the Doctor of Business Administration be awarded. Congratulations Gerard Culley!

By David Kreps

"This book questions the nature of the business and social information systems so ubiquitous in contemporary life. Linking positivism, individualism, and market-fundamentalist economics at the root of these systems, it critiques the philosophical ground of this triumvirate as fundamentally against nature. Connecting counter-philosophies of the subject as a natural part of existence, with more collectivist and ecological economics, it presents a historical critique of the development of the academic field of information systems and offers a complex view of the nature of Nature through which we might reshape our approach to technology and to our economies to overcome the existential threat of climate change. As such, it will appeal to philosophers, social theorists, and scholars of science and technology studies with interests in the environment and ecology, as well as those working in the field of information systems."
