Research Interest

My primary research interests focus on the adoption and diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in organisations and society. In general, I am interested in investigating how consumers, organisations and society deploy and use ICTs for the various purposes such as delivering education, e-commerce, e-business, and e-government services. Furthermore, how the deployment and use of ICTs would affect the existing structure and performance of organisations and society is also an area of future research interest. I am also interested in analysing the theories and research approaches utilised to study the adoption and diffusion of ICTs. More recently I have also developed interest in analysing evolution of information systems research.
