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.
