research
My research interests cut across organization theory, media, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. The point being to understand how innovations in information technology impact organizations, societies, and financial economies.
IN PARTICULAR:
- As “thinking machines” become increasingly intelligent, how does work change and what forms of organizing emerge?
- The mixture of human and machine thinking that now jointly contribute to organizational information processing. How might we “see” these augmented forms of organization?
- The organizing of uncertain opportunities. The side of entrepreneurship I feel is most overlooked. You might call it a random walk down Sandhill Road.
