I am an Associate Professor of Management Information Systems
in the College of Business at
Florida State University.
Before joining FSU in 2002, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Information Systems
from the Robinson College of Business
at Georgia State University in
Atlanta, Georgia.
Research
My research focus lies at the intersection of information systems (IS) strategy and systems development with a focus on three interrelated themes: (1) IS outsourcing, (2) interorganizational systems, and (3) digital knowledge networks. My work has appeared journals such as Journal of Management Information Systems, IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Communications of the ACM, and others.

I currently serve as an Associate Editor of Communications of the AIS.
Collaborations
My research on interfirm outsourcing networks was funded by Japan's Strategic Software Research consortium (sponsored by corporations such as Hitachi, Toshiba, IBM Japan, Mitsubishi, and Fujitsu). I've presented my research to industry and academic audiences in Japan and the United States. I collaborate with a variety of researchers such as Amrit Tiwana, Arun Rai, Mark Keil, and others in my work.
Teaching
I teach in our undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs. My teaching at the doctoral level pertains to IT management of interorganizational systems and digital knowledge networks. In our online graduate program, I teach a course on e-business. My undergraduate teaching focuses primarily on e-commerce. I taught courses on database management and Java programming while at GSU.
I currently serve as the doctoral advisor of our MIS Ph.D. program at FSU.
