Research Interest

I enjoy studies that build rich theoretical work often on new or different phenomenon. My own research streams (though I am open to other areas of IS research) include:

Online Communities

• Unique qualities of online software work, in particular open source development
• How communities emerge, are coordinated and controlled
• Sustainability of online communities
• Collaboration between different organizational forms

Digital Artefacts

• The role(s) and relevance of digital artefacts in work settings
• Ideas that conceptualize digital artefacts using STS work
• Algorithmic interactions and online work

Digital Innovation

• Different forms of innovation in organizational settings
• Open innovation practices
• Organizing for innovation

Research Methodologies

My methodological expertise covers:

• Qualitative methods
• Archival studies
• Ethnographic methods, including online
• Grounded theory
• Process analysis

Qualifications

My expertise lies in different forms of qualitative methods. I particularly work with Grounded Theory tools to build rich, novel insights of phenomenon.

Please note that I have little background in econometric modelling or design science. My strength is qualitative approaches and not quantitative methods.
