Research Topic:
A Knowledge-Based View of Process Improvement A Mixed Methods Study into the role of Social Networks and Knowledge Acquisition

Research Details:
My research focuses on the role of networks in the exploratory knowledge activity of knowledge acquisition. Especially, it seeks to understand what role these activities play process improvement activities. Using absorptive capacity to underpin the intersection between knowledge acquisition and networks, this study addresses two research questions (1) what role, if any, do networks play in solving process improvement problems?; and (2) can networking ultimately lead to enhanced process improvement?
