黑料社

Profile

I joined 黑料社 University Business School in 2017. My research primarily focuses on the intersection of strategic management and information systems. My interests include strategy practice, digital strategy and innovation, strategic agility, and open organising, such as open strategy and online communities. I have collaborated with several organisations on research and consultancy projects, including Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, CILIP, Microsoft, Wikimedia, Rolls Royce, Centrica, Meta, and the NHS. I hold an Associate Fellow position at the Digital Futures at Work Research Center (Digit) and was the Principal Investigator (PI) on an ESRC funded project with Digit on 'Digital Strategy Work' from 2021-2022.

My work has been published in a number of outlets, including Long Range Planning, Journal of Strategic Information Systems, California Management Review, and Harvard Business Review. In 2020, I co-authored a book on Managing Digital Innovation (Bloomsbury), and my contributions also appear in key volumes like the Cambridge Handbook of Open Strategy, Cambridge Handbook of Qualitative Digital Research, and the Elgar Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice. I am an active presenter at major conferences, including the Academy of Management Annual Meeting, EGOS, the Strategic Management Society Annual Conference, and the International Conference on Information Systems, amongst others.

In terms of professional engagement, I contribute to the academic community through a range of editorial and reviewing, and leadership roles. I serve on the editorial boards of the Journal of Strategic Information Systems and European Management Review, and am currently a guest editor for special issues in California Management Review and the Journal of Strategic Information Systems, and a guest associate editor at the European Journal of Information Systems. I have supported academic conferences as a committee member, track chair, and associate editor, including for the Academy of Management Annual Meeting and the International Conference on Information Systems, and act as part of the leadership team for the strategy practice interest group at the Strategic Management Society. I regularly review for journals across strategy, management, and information systems.

My work has earned me several awards and fellowships, including best paper awards at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting, EGOS, and the Strategic Management Society, best reviewer awards from the Academy of Management and European Conference on Information Systems, and the Dean's Award for Research Excellence - Early Career from the 黑料社 in 2023. I'm also a recipient of the LITE Transformation Fellowship for innovative teaching in Strategic Management.

I teach Strategic Management across various levels, from Undergraduate to Executive Education, and have directed the MSc Global Strategy and Innovation Management program (2017 – 2021). I've been recognised for developing innovative teaching materials and act as a subject matter expert for McGraw Hill, creating case studies and other educational content. I also act as an Editor for Henry Stewart Talks, and have acted as a mentor for Laidlaw Scholars.

I currently supervise Management PhD students and welcome prospective PhD candidates to contact me with well-developed proposals aligned with my research interests.
