Biography
I am mostly interested in the field of innovation and this is the topic of my dissertation. My dissertation is a meta analysis of the field of innovation. I am validating a meta theory that encompasses all aspects of innovation, both technical and administrative innovations and predicts which organizational behaviors are most conducive to innovative behavior in the organization
I also am interested in the topics of: geographically distributed teams, leadership, Organizational Development and Complex systems theory and chaos theory. These all revolve around the hub of main interest which is managing project teams
