ABOUT

Personal Statement
I am a Professor in Digital Enterprise at University of Liverpool. Prior to joining the University of Liverpool, I was an Associate Professor in Technology, Organisation and Sustainability at the University of Leeds.

My work prioritizes the combination of theory and practice. I have led complex transformation projects with various partners (e.g., businesses in various industries, including Airbus and several IT firms, as well as public-sector and non-profit organisations). In parallel with this work, I have taught at the Universities of Bonn, Hamburg, Hanover and Milan. My PhD is from the University of Helsinki.

At the European Group of Organizational Studies conferences (2021-2026), I act as co-coordinator of the Standing Working Group "Organization Studies in the Anthropocene: System Change, not Climate Change".

 

Research Overview
My research focuses on the evolution of technologies, organisational paradigms/ management models, and public policy (see for example Administrative Science Quarterly, March 2018; Organization Science, January 2022; Production and Operations Management, 2024). In particular, I am interested in epochal transformation processes such as the digital transformation and the green transformation. My current research interests include:

- The interplay of digital technologies, evolving management and organisation concepts, and the overall institutional and public policy framework;
- The use of engaged scholarship approaches such as the Change Laboratory method to study and support the digital transformation of organisations and the transition to a sustainable society;
- The creation and evolution of key concepts that are used to guide technological, organizational, and institutional/public policy innovation;
- Understanding the systemic nature of the climate crisis and exploring alternative systems for a sustainable society;
