SIS Research Area - Information Systems & Management

Overview

We work at the intersection of information systems and management to explore the relationships between system design, economic incentives, and organisational challenges.

Our research advances theory and informs practice on the development, deployment and impact of systems that support today's complex, information-intensive business processes. Drawing from a range of theoretical perspectives in the economic, behavioral, and design sciences, we investigate how teams, firms, and societies at large create and harness value from IT innovations.

We embrace field research, econometric and analytical modeling, and computational simulation to study phenomena that span the traditional boundaries of management and technology scholarship.
