The Information Systems & Management (ISM) group conducts research on the transformative potential of digital technology as it pervades modern business, entrepreneurship, and society. Our distinctive research focus is cross-disciplinary, encompassing the interactions between people, organisations and information technologies which are an increasingly important feature of advanced societies.
We have an active group of doctoral students in different stages of their PhD research. Our research agenda reflects its positioning at the interface between conventional studies of IS, organisation studies, and economics and markets, and includes close links with the Gillmore Centre for Financial Technology and the Innovation, Knowledge & Organisational Networks research unit (IKON).
