Biography

Paul Ryder teaches strategic design, strategic dynamics, structuralism, semiotics, and communication theory at the University of New South Wales. His current research applies high theory to emerging concepts like 'general grammar strategy' and engagement with Michel Foucault's notion of 'grid strategy tactics'. Ryder has developed three-dimensional tripartite construct models that reflect strategy's internal dynamics, specifically in military, commercial, and political domains. His major research focus includes counterterrorism strategies, critical discourse analysis, advertising strategy, and social enterprise impact investing. He has founded successful educational and management consulting enterprises and possesses extensive research experience. Ryder has supervised 12 doctoral dissertations and encourages prospective PhD candidates to articulate coherent research proposals based on specific gaps in existing literature.
