Editorial Board Associate Editor:
Elizabeth Davidson
University of Hawaii, Manoa
In her research, Dr. Davidson studies how organization members identify opportunities for using information technology and orchestrate IT initiatives. A special area of interest and focus is information technologies and systems in healthcare organizations. Recent projects include a study of the role of information and communication technologies in scientific research activities in academia and industry and studies of health information technology adoption and associated organizational change in hospitals and small physician practices. A common theme in these projects is the orchestration of complex, collaborative knowledge work in distributed, global settings and the mediating role of IT in these settings.
Dr. Davidson has utilized socio-cognitive theory to explore organizational sense-making related to IT and is particularly interested in institutional theory as a meta-theoretic lens for studying change at macro, organizational and intra-organizational levels of analysis. She is experienced with qualitative field methods, including grounded theory and discourse analysis, and with process modeling approaches.
