Many phenomena that are of interest to management and organization scholars are captured in the form of rich digital (trace) data. Detailed work and navigation processes are captured in information systems and activity logs, product characteristics are described in textual product descriptions, gig platforms capture a wealth of data about workers, and CEOs manage the impression of their firms in video-recorded press conferences.

His research focuses on platform-based ecosystems as he explores the impact of industrial and technological change (a) on the platform ecosystem, (b) on the firm, and (c) the antecedents of these changes.
Course Description
The availability of such rich digital data provides novel opportunities for theorization and analysis. To this purpose, scholars of management and organization have turned to methods originally developed in computer science, to collect and work with digital data. A distinct feature of those methods is that they are applied in both qualitative and quantitative research, for purposes that range from data exploration, to theory development, and onto hypothesis testing.
