Dr. Marturano created the first UG module/course on leadership in Europe (2005), and acquired a huge (maybe unique) knowledge about leadership UG teaching across the Atlantic. Throughout his career, he has incorporated a variety of different teaching methods. These include the use of comics, videos, films, case studies, student presentations, small surveys, literature reviews, etc. Based on experience and regular feedback from students about particular learning techniques, Dr. Marturano attempted to raise the participative role of students in lectures as well as in seminars. His interest in teaching methods other than the conventional lecture have led to a paper on the subject in European Business Forum in 2005 and has been widely discussed.
Antonio’s research on leadership is on philosophical and foundational aspects. He is interested in using tools from philosophy, anthropology and sociology to understand how the leadership phenomenon takes place. On this subject he published two articles–Antonio Marturano, Martin Wood and Jonathan Gosling, “Leadership, Propositional Attitudes and Language Games”, Philosophy of Management, Vol. 9 No. 1, 2009 and Antonio Marturano, “Understanding leadership: is it time for a linguistic turn?”, in Ciulla, J., Forsythe, D., Genovese, M. & others (eds.), Leadership at the Crossroads, Vol. 3, Leadership and the Humanities, Ed. Ciulla, J., Westport (NJ): Praeger, 2008.) in which he analysed leadership from a logic and semiotics point of view.
