A message from the dean

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DR. ADAM SHUKRY BIN ALI - BIOGRAPHY

I hold the position of Associate Professor and serve as the Dean of the Institute of Graduate Studies, UPTM. My areas of interest include IT strategy integration, quality management, performance enhancement, and innovation.

My academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Business Information Technology followed by a Master's degree in Management Information Systems, both attained from Coventry University. Subsequently, I pursued my doctoral studies at the same institution, investigating strategy integration within high-performing manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the West Midlands.

Driven by a personal connection to entrepreneurship through my family's small enterprise background, I am deeply intrigued by the factors that contribute to varying levels of success among enterprises. My research primarily revolves around strategy integration within SMEs operating within the production and manufacturing sectors.
