Dr Donald Hislop
Senior Lecturer
Donald's research interests are in two main areas: knowledge management and mobile working. Donald has been researching and writing on the topic of knowledge management since the late 1990s.
He has published a number of academic papers on various aspects of knowledge management, the most recent of which, titled ‘Conceptualizing Knowledge Work Utilizing Skill And Knowledge-Based Concepts: The Case Of Some Consultants And Service Engineers’ was published in Management Learning in 2008.
He has also written a textbook for Oxford University Press called Knowledge Management in Organisations: A Critical Introduction, which had its second edition published in 2009.
Since 2006 Donald has also been doing research on mobile working. His research in this area focuses on two specific, overlapping themes: the extent to which business people work while travelling on work-related journeys, and the way in which mobile computer and communication technologies (such as laptops and mobile phones) are used in these work activities.
Donald has conducted a number of small research projects on these topics, one funded by the ESRC and one funded by the British Academy. Donald has published a number of journal articles on this topic, and in 2008 edited a book called Mobility and Technology in the Workplace (Routledge) which brought together an international, multi-disciplinary range of authors.
