We study the design and operation of information environments in order to understand how they may become humanly satisfying and socially beneficial.
Our research on information environments unites qualititative and quantitative approaches in order to derive better practice from theory and better theory from practice.
We use the term information environment to emphasize the holistic quality of action, attention, information and communication in organizational systems.
Values
We value the development of ideas that will change the way managers and researchers think and act.
We recognize that information is not neutral and that information choices can profoundly shape organizational action.
We value creative teaching that enables students to generalize from experience and to create practical, testable theory to guide action.
We value system thinking and its emphasis on relations rather than attributes especially as it is manifest in experiential learning cycles.
We value the founding tenets of the Bauhaus: a commitment to hands-on education, broad exposure to both theory and technique, a close association with industry, intensive workshops with senior faculty, a dedication to the needs of humanity, and a concern with good design.
