Availability for Ph.D Supervision and Suggested Topics
Empirically, I would be interested in 1) strategy work in FinTech ventures and 2) digital transformation in incumbent industries and professional organizations, e.g., financial services, construction industry, military organizations, which I have direct research experience or supervising experience
Theoretically, I would only supervise students using qualitative research methods with a practice or discursive perspective.
