Research focus

My research interest lies in the intersection between people and technology. By examining how people innovate with technology in a community or social setting, I am able to build on existing theoretical stance that a social setting is not only needed for the diffusion of innovation but also for its creation. For my dissertation, I am studying collaborative innovation among startups located across general and niche-based business incubators. A business incubator, in my research, is positioned as a social setting providing an opportunity for interactions beyond the formality of the workplace. Therefore, I focus on the interaction between startup owners within this social setting, specifically examining the influence of incubator in fostering collaborative innovation.
