His subjects reflected his philosophy on the emphasis of variety/multiple teaching stimuli in teaching methods and assessment approaches. In research, David had a high profile and focused on marketing strategy, services marketing, quality as a strategic dimension and health care delivery. He obtained a number of large research grants and published widely. In addition, he contributed strongly to the overall work of the School, the Faculty and the University.
