Biography
Born in the Rhondda, Wales, he received his BSc in Economics and Social Science and PhD in Computing from University of Wales College, Cardiff.[1]
Before taking up an academic post he worked for several years in the ICT industry in the UK as a programmer and business analyst both in the public and private sectors.[2] He entered academia in the mid 1980s and has held positions at the University of Glamorgan, Swansea University and most recently at Cardiff University. His inter-disciplinary interests began with this PhD thesis which considered the application of computing in ethnography. Over nearly three decades of work he has published on a wide range of topics ranging from the nature of informatics, electronic business, electronic government, information systems planning, information systems development and database systems. Details of some of these publications are included below.
His most recent programme of work involves considering the fundamental nature of informatics in terms of the intersection of signs and systems. Some of this work has already been published
A book describing this work is published by Palgrave/Macmillan.[3] More recently he has been developing a new design theory for business analysis which is theory-driven but practical in application.
Paul Beynon-Davies still lives in South Wales and is married with three children.
