Research

I am professor in Business Studies at the Department of Social Sciences and Business, Roskilde University, Denmark.

My main research interests are at the intersection between digitalization, innovation and service sector and include value (co-) creation, digital transformation, user involvement in innovation, digital innovation, adoption and diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) with special focus on small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). Recently, I am investigating the role of Artificial Intelligence in organizations with focus on service organizations.  

Over the years I have participated to a number of Danish and European research projects all focusing on solving important societal problems concerning digitalization and innovation, especially in private and public services such as libraries, facility management and consulting services.

Methodologically, I conduct mostly qualitative studies, but I also conduct research based on both qualitative and quantitatve methods. 

I am the founder and Editor-in-Chief for over ten 10 years of the "International Journal of E-Services and Mobile Applications (IJESMA)" and I serve on the editorial board of several journals.

I have been visiting scholar in several universities including University of Texas at Austin, USA,  University of Michigan, USA, Queensland University of Technology, Australia and University of Maryland at College Park, USA. I am Distinguished Professor at Woxen University, Hyderabad, India for the period 2023-2026.

I hold a Ph.D in business administration from Roskilde University, an MBA from the University of Maryland at College Park, USA and a M.Sc. from the University of Bari, Italy.
