Our Commitments to Responsible Research & Development
Digital Innovation Research
Reforming Digital Education
We study theories such as connectivism and networked learning and develop learning platforms and technologies to support innovation-based and authentic learning. Our research contributes to inclusive education and alternative models of education as the foundations of education reform.
Democratizing Digital Innovation
We study how companies develop strategies, allocate resources, and engage their employees, customers, and community in digital innovation initiatives. We study open digital innovation, research innovation culture, and its support systems, and examine the role of social computing and social technologies democratizing new product or service development across the industry.
Accelerating Digital Entrepreneurship
We study how digital entrepreneurs can systematically expand their competencies to adapt and address new challenges. We explore concepts such as digital literacy and digital entrepreneurial mindset and their roles in driving digital entrepreneurship with an emphasis on accessible support systems.
Humanizing Digital Transformation
We focus on redefining the strategic role of IT from a human-centered perspective and its future technological ambition in different areas from design to business development. We also study the role of employees, their experiences and culture in digital transformation, its governance, and actualizing its values.
We strive to develop human-centered approaches to the design, adoption, and dissemination of digital technologies and nurture compassionate digital transformation leaders.
