My research interests are in information systems management, software engineering, and electronic commerce. I am particularly interested in the interactions among information systems, businesses and people. Research problems come from the organization, communication and management of joint ventures, alliances, and consortia. Such groups have interface, data, compatibility, control, and many other issues to resolve. Current projects are focused on electronic social networks, risk management and partner selection.
