About Mehraz

I am a Registered Chemical Engineer (First Class) and after spending more than ten years managing organisations, I completed my MBA (Distinction), topped the class and earned trophies and prizes. I joined the University in 1993 after my MBA degree and completed my PhD on a part time basis in 2000. My PhD supervisor was a UK Professor (David Weir) and Director for Bradford Management Centre in UK. In 2007, I took early retirement from the University of Mauritius where I climbed the ladder and became an Associate Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Law and Management. I joined Bang College of Business of KIMEP, Almaty Kazakhstan in July 2007 and worked till June 2009 as a Professor of Marketing and Management. Later (2014-2016), I also had the opportunity to work as a Professor of Marketing in APIM (Asia Pacific Institute of Management) in New Delhi, India. I also had opportunities to teach in Morocco (Al Akhawayn University), France (Aix en Provence University), Malaysia (University Putra Malaysia and INTI), Madagascar (INSCAE) etc.
In January 2018, I received the Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA), a very coveted title in academia.
I have excelled in my academic journey earning only First Classes/Distinction and I am at your service to share my experience with you. My students have most of the time identified me as a Best teacher etc.
I do provide consultancy to several organisations and again my intervention and advice has been very well appreciated at all times - experience to share again.

Mehraz Boolaky: Teaching and Research Statement.

My goals in teaching are not simply to lecture the course notes from for example Power Points but also to ensure that students learn theoretical concepts and be engaged in active learning. I take maximum care to ensure that students follow a holistic approach to imparting contexts, global and multicultural perspectives, interpersonal skills and social responsibilities. I fully acknowledge that students are individuals, with different personalities, skills, attitudes, backgrounds and learning styles. My role as a teacher and facilitator is to

1. Provide timely feedback on student’s work taking care to point out strengths and weaknesses
2. engage students actively by posing challenging problems and creating an atmosphere of exploration and sense making
3. be a mentor and serve as a role model for building capabilities of students and grooming them to be and act as professionals,
4. assist student understanding and application of marketing and management concept to real life situations and
5. develop and enhance the logical and critical thinking as well as problem solving skills necessary for them to shoulder the responsibilities associated with their jobs


To achieve my objectives to effectively teach marketing and management courses in various countries, I make it a point to devote lots of my time outside the office to be conversant with domestic brands, prices, promotion, distribution, places, events, etc so as to catch students’ attention on what is familiar to them rather than using textbook examples etc. These initiatives enable me to provide more relevant and up to date examples to underscore classroom presentations. Further my extensive years of successful practical experience in marketing and management as well as my academic achievement (having been among the five best throughout my educational career) enhance my teaching skills and dictate to me what to instill in students to be among the best.

I have excellent mastery of theoretical concepts and techniques of courses I teach in addition to having put these into practice in real life situations – this helps me to contextualize and exemplify my lectures to facilitate learning. My discussion and explanation of theories are always backed by involving students to share their own experience and observations as well as getting them to analyze written and video case studies. I always update and use the latest concepts and techniques in class (I do not normally use old lecture notes except when they are really needed) and this automatically leads me to engage in research through its various forms, observations, discussions, surveys, and secondary sources. I try to use as far as possible students’ personal experience and ideas as a springboard to build and enhance their conceptual understanding. I use multiple criteria for evaluating students and thus assessment is normally based on case study analyses (written and oral), various research based projects, and activities and at least two individual closed book exams with open ended questions. I try to create challenging and significantly friendly learning environment where students feel at ease and relaxed so that each of them whether in a large or small batch can learn and apply what has been learnt.

I treat all my students as responsible adults and friends. Wherever I feel there are weaknesses or anything that calls for my intervention or recommendation, I make it a point to call the students to my office and hold frank discussions with them. I believe in and practice tight loose controls. I have consistently received high scores in student evaluation and I use constructive comments made to adjust my teaching and to become even more effective in all areas of instruction.

Research Statement

I am fully aware of the significant importance of research in tertiary education. I publish regularly in scholarly peer reviewed journals and encourage my students and academic colleagues to join me through joint publications. Together, we have published more than twelve papers during the last 2/3 years.

To get my students involved in research, I give research based assignments in various forms such as critical reviews of scholarly refereed papers, application of research findings to marketing and management problems, writing literature reviews, conducting surveys, focus group interviews, observations etc. In addition to lecture notes, I provide relevant scholarly papers to stimulate students to read, understand and interpret such papers. I also encourage my students to make it a point to visit hypermarkets and other places and observe the several aspects of marketing in action. Other research activities I normally request my students to undertake are to check adverts and brands for target marketing and positioning strategies, identify celebrities chosen by various companies and get then to reflect on the “why”, etc.

Among my most recent publications include a co-authored chapter ‘Mauritius: Towards a knowledge hub and society’ in an edited book on “Knowledge Management in Developing Economies: A Cross Cultural and Institutional Approach published in 2007 by Edward Elgar Publications, UK.; a co authored paper entitled “A study of the importance of Marketing in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises in Mauritius”, which paper received best paper Award by Emerald publications in the International CAMOT conference held in Beijing during 21-23 October 2008; a joint paper entitled "Entrepreneurship and Marketing: An exploratory study in Mauritius " published in the Journal of Chinese Entrepreneurship.

I am supervising my PhD student who is finalizing her doctoral thesis for submission at the University of Technology in Mauritius soon.

My future research goal is to complete a textbook on Marketing and Entrepreneurship that I started some time back. I have a working draft and I will need to supplement this by carrying out research on latest concepts, techniques and applications in the marketing and entrepreneurship area. Second, I plan to extend my specialization in the Strategic Management and Marketing area to the development of new theories that are associated with consumer behavior and e- marketing. Finally, I will continue my research on entrepreneurship, knowledge management and innovation. I will also pay attention relevant areas where funding and consultancy opportunities are available.
