| Research Interests: | ||
| I am passionate about research. My interests span a number of management-related areas, including strategy, organization design, business agility, dynamic capabilities, and workforce development.
I have several streams of research, mostly examining organizational level phenomenon. The common theme in these streams of research is that they examine how organizational attributes or environmental conditions, such as its industry, strategy, design, capabilities, etc., enable or constrain an organization's ability to accomplish certain goals and objectives, including the ability to adapt over time. For example, my dissertation examined how the strategy and structure of organizations impacts their ability to be responsive to marketplace changes. This worked explained how organizations can be structured to enable organizational agility and respond quickly when changes in strategy are necessary. Furthermore, I have conducted a number of studies that examine how organizations are best structured to support their enterprise management systems. These studies were funded by grants from the Healthcare Industry and the Higher Education Groups of the Oracle/Alliance. Results of these studies were presented at the national meetings of these groups, including a Keynote presentation at the national Healthcare Industry conference. In another grant-funded study I examined how industry, institutional and organizational characteristics enable or constrain a firm's adoption of security and privacy related policies and procedures. This study was funded by a grant from the National Institute for Justice. I presented the findings of this study in the Keynote address for Greater Cincinnati Annual Security Symposium. I also study workforce issues and have conducted a series of research studies examining the impacts of outsourcing. In this work I collaborated with an international group of academics and practitioners. This work was sponsored by the Society for Information Management (SIM), an international group of senior executives. I presented results to SIM members at their national conference in Seattle and Orlando, and at local chapter meetings in Boston, Orlando and Cleveland. Building on this research, I received a grant from Procter and Gamble in 2010 to explore how organizations that outsource entry-level IT positions can still develop mid-career IT personnel. | ||
