My Research
Q&A about my research
Why this research?
A less studied and more problematic aspect of the development of the Internet and the mobile phone over the last decades concerns how organizations can adopt and deploy these technologies to create business value.
What about your dissertation?
My dissertation analyses companies devoted to the implementation of wireless information systems, that were confronted with several challenges, and investigates how these challenges were met by means of different capability development activities.
Are these technology success stories?
Yes, the development and spread of these technologies has been rapid, but the predominantly technology-driven development has over time resulted in substantial and sometimes unforeseen changes in user behavior.
What does the dissertation show?
The study suggests that the firms that give the best performance are not necessarily those that implement different breeds of technology, but rather those that are able to learn from the challenges they are confronted with.
Why did you want to study this?
Due to my background as engineer, I focused my research on the telecom area. My research position at the Stockholm School of Economics influenced my decision to more specifically study the implementation of mobile information systems in organizations.
Any other research projects?
I have been involved in other related projects such as Novel Access Provision of wireless services, the evaluation of WiFi implementation at the Stockholm School of Economics or the analysis of the Swedish 3G-license allocation process for the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
