Charles H. Davis, Ph.D.
Edward S. Rogers Sr. Research Chair in Media Management and Entrepreneurship, and Associate Dean, Scholarly Research and Creative Activities, Faculty of Communication & Design

Welcome to my website. I'm a professor in Ryerson Unversity's RTA Media School (Faculty of Communication & Design) and am cross-appointed with the Entrepreneurship and Strategy Department in the Ted Rogers School of Management.

I currently teach and conduct research on management and policy in industries that produce experience goods - with special interest in innovation and new product development in the software and content layers of mediated creative industries. I am currently involved in research projects on media product innovation, media audiences, and small firms in the media industry. My recent graduate and undergraduate teaching includes courses in media management, new product development, political economy of media industries, audience analysis, and media entrepreneurship. I teach in Ryerson's MA in Media Production program, in the Ryerson/York MA/PhD program in Communication and Culture, and in Ryerson's MBA/MSc in Management of Technology and Innovation program.

Since September, 2011 I am serving as Associate Dean for Scholarly Research and Creative Activities (SRC) in the Faculty of Communication & Design. SRC involves value creation by producing, publishing, curating, exhibiting, or performing original work. As Associate Dean, SRC I encourage, promote, and support the SRC work of colleagues and students in our schools of Fashion, Graphics Communications Management, Image Arts, Interior Design, Journalism, Media (formerly Radio and Television Arts), Professional Communication, and Theatre.
