Research Interests

Information Systems Discontinuance

• This research examines the end of the information system (IS) lifecycle with the intention of better understanding what drives organizations to discontinue or not discontinue their use of these systems. The findings of this multi-year study are intended to provide decision makers with insights into how best to manage IS lifecycles.

Information Systems Success and Satifaction

• Information systems success and satisfaction hold significant implications for the continued use of information systems. This research thus seeks to better understand the success and satisfaction phenomena from the early stages of system design and implementation through to the latter stages of the IS life.

Organizational and Individual Decision Making

• Decision making is central to information systems discontinuance and, as a result, this research effort aims to better understand decision making in general as well as the specific implications of decision research for discontinuance decisions.

Information Systems Theory

• This research seeks to understand the use of theory within the discipline and how this use can be advanced. Such understanding is important to the conduct of sound research and thus serves as a key foundation for the other research efforts.

Meta-Analysis

• This initiative employs both formal meta-analysis as well as a range of other meta-analytic techniques to uncover broader understanding in relation to a number of prominent research streams.
