Dr MuhammadAsharAsdullah
PhD · Business & Management · Lecturer & Researcher
A management scholar bridging control systems, performance measurement and organisational performance — with research spanning banking, healthcare, innovation, AI and sustainability.
My work asks a deceptively simple question — how do organisations measure, control and improve what matters? — and follows it across sectors, from the boardroom to the frontline.

Questions worth
staying with.
Seven interconnected strands, held together by one thread: understanding what drives organisational performance.
Management Control Systems
How organisations design and use control systems to align strategy, behaviour and accountability.
Performance Measurement
Frameworks that translate strategy into meaningful, measurable indicators of progress.
Organizational Performance
What sustains performance over time — the central question of the doctoral research.
Banking & Healthcare
Sector-grounded enquiry into control and performance across banking and healthcare.
Innovation
The capabilities, systems and culture that make innovation repeatable inside organisations.
Artificial Intelligence
The role of AI in measurement, decision-making and the future of management practice.
Sustainability
Embedding sustainability into performance frameworks and organisational decision-making.
Thoughts in
the world.
Peer-reviewed, Scopus-indexed research contributing to the study of management control and performance.

Teaching is a
conversation.
In the classroom I try to make management tangible — connecting theory to the systems, decisions and measures that organisations actually live by, and helping researchers find rigour in their own questions.
