Emma on Google Scholar | Twitter  | University profile

Emmanuelle is Associate Professor of Information Systems (IS) at the Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University. Her research examines how social practices emerge and change with the implementation and use of new technologies and how these new practices are associated with organizational dynamics. She has in particular investigated the learning processes taking place at different levels (communities and networks of practice, for instance) and the boundary spanning involved in these dynamics when new Information Systems get implemented and used. Emmanuelle has become fascinated by the new practices and social and societal changes associated with social media such as blogs and microblogs. Some of the themes she has especially been interested in deal with the emergence of new organizational forms and with new dynamics associated with organizational and occupational identification.

Emmanuelle’s research so far has been qualitative, relying upon case-based evidence analyzed from an interpretive perspective. She has however become increasingly in the opportunities and challenges of combining qualitative and quantitative analysis of electronically-collected data.
