 Welcome
I have just completed my fourth year as a PhD student in Management Information Systems at the
Terry College of Business / University of Georgia. Prior to attending UGA,
I received my BS, MS in MIS, and MBA degrees from the University of South
Florida. I will be starting a faculty position in the School
of Management at Bucknell
University in July, and plan to defend my dissertation in early November.
I have a technical background in web and multimedia application design, database
/ data warehousing, and business intelligence administration. However, my
research to date has focused primarily on behavioral as opposed to technical aspects of IS,
particularly as relates to successful implementation of business
intelligence systems. The majority of my research is at the individual
level of analysis, including my dissertation on habitual inertia in IS use, as
well as a study on the impact of culture on e-satisfaction. I have also been working with Rick Watson on several papers
related to the use of social network analysis in IS research. I am
particularly interested in studying the effective use of IT in organizations outside the normal business arena, such as public service / charitable organizations, educational / research institutions, and governmental agencies.
Along these lines, and given my extensive background in amateur paleontology, I
hope one day to be able to study the use of newly emerging technologies for
scientific research and collaboration.
