About Me:
I am an adjunct professor at Monterey Peninsula College. I facilitate online courses in e-commerce, business fundamentals, and business communication. I am completing my doctoral pursuit in management in organizational leadership and IST. My in-progress dissertation is about organizational responsiveness to technological innovation encounters. The focus is on public, government, and private partnerships of libraries engaged in content preservation using digitization technological innovations. The study examines whether the use of unregulated digital technological innovations can deliver unknown outcomes that affect other domains, particularly the public domain. The topic required studying literature from various fields including organizational design, leadership and management theories, digital asset management, and ecological-environmental sociology. The study uses mixed methods including a qualitative grounded theory approach for gathering lived experiences via a survey instrument and using quantitative methodology for data collection to determine rates of digitization by library stakeholders and frequency of executive and information technology leadership decisions as initiatives to outsource or insource digital content management. The study attempts to determine two hypotheses: 1) Leadership decision-making is a determinant of organizational responsiveness to technological innovations 2) Organizational responsiveness is correlated to digital technological innovation encounters. Stakeholder views will be gathered to increase knowledge and understanding of the topic, questions, and hypotheses. The results may justify suggestions for further research that could extend the study with refined information that leadership may find useful for anticipating unknown outcomes when using unregulated digital technological innovations.
