KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Management Information Systems Department

Founded and chaired the Fox School’s MIS department, 2000 to 2017. Recruited over 45

faculty plus staff. Established the mission, generated resources, and led the creation of new

undergraduate major, minor, MBA, and doctoral programs. Oversaw the creation of three

interdisciplinary MS programs that achieved high enrollment.

We achieved U.S. News and World Report ranking in 2012 that was sustained in every

subsequent year for both undergraduate and graduate programs. This reputational ranking is

based on a survey of deans.

MIS was ranked number 1 in the world in 2010 for research by the Association of

Information Systems based on a count of publications. This ranking was sustained in the top 5

each year I was chair.

By 2007 and ongoing we achieved 100% student placement with a curriculum that leads the

nation and a model to structure and measure student professional development.

By 2017 we were awarding $100,000+ in annual scholarships.

Institute for Business and Information Technology

Appointed Executive Director of the E-business Institute with Laurel Miller as Director in

2002. We restructured the institute, established an industry advisory board that has become a

national role model, and a fee based corporate membership program.

Created a comprehensive suite of industry-academic activities including annual national and

local Analytics Challenge, National Cyber Analyst Challenge, corporate training program,

industry whitepaper series, annual career fair, programmed more than thirty workshops, four

major national conferences, and an annual awards event going into its 20th year to recognize

prominent executives.

Starting with $55,000 in 2007 growing to more than $500,000 each year since 2016,

generated close to $5 million in corporate memberships and sponsorships.

In 2019, IBIT inaugurated the $1.2 million Digital Innovation Foundry, whose mission is to

generate innovation by assessing, integrating, and prototyping digital technologies in the

associated new Capgemini Digital Innovation Lab.

Research

Published thirty two journal papers in MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, ACM

Transactions, Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of the Association for

Information Systems, Information Systems Journal, MIS Quarterly Executive, Decision


Support Systems, Small Group Research, Communications of the ACM, and Public

Administration Review on social media, virtual teams, software training, peer review,

globalization, design science, broadband policy, and industry-academic collaboration.

My research combines quantitative, qualitative, and design methods focusing on the

application or development of novel technologies. This approach has resulted in highly cited

publications on RFID, groupware requirements, e-politics, and corporate use of social media.

Google Scholar reports 2012 total citations including six papers with more than 100 citations.

Received research grants of about $1 million plus $1.2 million in-kind from National Science

Foundation, Society for Information Management, Lockheed Martin, Bell Atlantic, Microsoft

Corporation, CIGNA, Advanta, and Lotus. Received research and educational grants and

contributions of $1.6 million from Leidos, Lockheed Martin, NBCUniversal, Pfizer,

Vanguard, State of Pennsylvania, and others.

Co-developed the patent pending Community platform that includes a professional

development system, learning management system, and a 100% online degree-in-a-box

solution. The platform is in use at Temple and licensed at one other university and one

corporation.

Education

Provided intellectual leadership on major changes to the curriculum including restructuring

the undergraduate program to focus on business integration, and then later on digital

innovation.

Led the curriculum design of the Masters in Digital Marketing in collaboration with the

Department of Marketing. This 100% online degree uses the Community platform to

generate high engagement resulting in on average 93-97% retention.

Led the integration of the systems thinking and user experience design into the undergraduate

and graduate curriculum. Created a successful Executive MBA course and corporate

workshops on systems thinking.

Service

Led the creation of the Association for Information Systems Leadership Excellence Award

Winner. This international award recognizes exceptional industry practitioners. Atish

Banerjea, CIO, Facebook was the inaugural recipient in 2016.

Led the creation of the Association for Information Systems – Temple University

Information Systems Job Index in 2011 which continues to produces bi-annual national data

from more than 40 universities on placement, type of jobs, career services, knowledge, and

search strategies.

Led the creation of student chapters for the Association of Information Systems in 2008. This

initiative offers a “home” to all IS students worldwide. The first student chapter conference

was held at Temple University. At the completion of my term as the founding AIS VP of

student chapters in 2011, 75 universities from 13 countries representing more than 3000

students had formed chapters.

Led the creation of the school level IMPACT awards in 2016. These awards recognize group

achievements across the school using an open peer review process.

SOFTWARE

Temple Community Platform. Inventor and designer, 2008 – present. With Manoj Chacko and

Laurel Miller. The Temple Community Platform (TCP) consists of three distinct innovations:

New type of learning management system (LMS) that applies social and open concepts to

change learning and student development.

A structured measurable professional development program that gets undergraduate

students ready for the workplace.

A model and associated software for offering 100% online graduate degree programs at

low cost to achieve very high retention and satisfaction.

The software is being used at Temple University, San Jose State University, and Scholastic

Inc. It has also been used at Georgia State University and Loyola University Maryland.

U.S. Utility Patent Application No. 16/286,910, filed February 27, 2019.

The project has generated several conference and journal publications.

Temple Peer Review Manager. Inventor, architect, and designer, 1998-2002. Temple Peer Review

Manager (TPRM) is web-based knowledge management software that automates and changes the

process of managing and reviewing documents such as scholarly articles.

The key innovation of the software which preceded commercial peer review tools is (a)

creating a workflow to automate peer review, and (b) providing customizable models of

peer review including Blind (traditional), Open (identity is public), and Restricted Open

Review (a new blind model that allows authors and reviewers to interact using an

anonymous discussion forum).

Awarded $18,000 grant by Association for Information Systems (AIS) to develop and use

the software for the 2001 and 2002 Americas Conference on Information Systems and the

International Conference on Information Systems.

The software was successfully deployed and used to review about 3000 papers involving

about 6000 authors and reviewers across two years while it was in production use.

The project resulted in one journal publication and several conference presentations.

Collaborative Object Workspaces. Co-inventor and designer with Shariq Khan, 1995-1999.

Collaborative Object Workspaces (COWS) provides workspaces and representation metaphors for

the collaborative work activities of teams across time and space.

COWS was one of the first peer-to-peer client applications in which the client also acted

as a server.

The software was successfully developed and used in a research lab setting.

The project resulted in one journal publication and conference presentations and

demonstrations.

The Claremont Graduate School Environment. Inventor, designer, and developer, 1989-1992. The

Claremont Graduate School Environment (CGSE) is a software integrator and set of tools for


meeting rooms to empower users to bring in and take out documents, dynamically share and use

existing tools, and work in synch and out of synch with others.

Awarded $8,000 and second place in national design competition, Zenith Data Systems,

1991.

Successfully developed and used in a production meeting room for about 2 years.

The software was part of my doctoral dissertation and led to several journal publications

and conference presentations.

GroupWord. Co-inventor and developer with Stan Clark, 1991-1992. GroupWord provided

collaborative editing and tracking features in Microsoft Word.

The software was successfully developed and used in a doctoral dissertation.

Computerworld Windows World Open. Finalist, March 1992.

including learning how to order supplies, creating and managing curriculum, recruiting and placing

students, and hiring faculty and staff. In little over a decade starting from zero, we achieved

national U.S. News and World Report ranking in 2012 which is still being sustained. More

importantly, we achieved very high research productivity, 100% student placement, and created

curriculum and models for industry engagement that others now copy.

Recruited more than 45 faculty members and staff since inception. The following programs were

created during my tenure since the department was formed in 2000:

MIS students develop their professional skills through membership in the Association of

Information Systems (AIS). The department offers an innovative and unique professional

development program in which students receive points for participating in professional

development activities, these points are the basis of a leaderboard and badges that are displayed

on the student’s e-portfolio, and on the main departmental web home page. To graduate, students

must achieve 1000 points. Upon achieving the required number of points, students can ‘cash-in’

their points for departmental branded merchandise. Students are also offered course credit and

assistance in working on MIS related internships during summers.
