I am currently an assistant professor in the John Molson School of Business of Concordia University in Montréal. I am in the Department of Decision Science and Management Information Systems. I obtained a PhD in information systems and decision sciences in December 2003 from Louisiana State University.

I believe in the pursuit of excellence. I believe in setting high goals for myself. I believe in dreaming: Though dreams often seem as ephemeral as the passing clouds, the reality of refreshing rain is born only of clouds pregnant with hope. (I like to wax poetic every now and then.)

My central research interest is applying the Internet for organizational benefit. I have had three specific research focuses (plus a phase of researching miscellaneous topics), which I list in the chronological order of my pursuit of them:

• Miscellaneous topics, such as the use of wirelessly networked mobile computers, e-voting, and information systems usage and satisfaction.
• Competitive strategy using the Internet
• Applications of the Internet in developing countries (e-business and telemedicine)
• Open content and open source software
