Dr Walter Jarvis is a Senior Lecturer in Managing, Leading & Stewardship (MLS) and formally Director of the Master of Management program (2016-2023) at the UTS Business School.
His research investigates decision-making in business, foregrounding as a premise to management the moral-relational accountability of business leaders to regain public trust in enterprise management. In his research and teaching, he draws on 20-plus years of general management and consulting experience with local and international corporations, as well as graduate qualifications in education and management learning.
He focuses on ‘experiential’ learning to cultivate management capacities for moral judgement in business actions, which have increasingly warranted much greater public scrutiny. Accordingly, accountability for respecting human dignity and natural ecological integrity underpins public trust and confidence (Stewardship) in university-based management education. He has a strong publishing record in values-based education as central to the public purpose of universities.
