Presentations and Proceedings

This was a keynote address. I have been asked to type it into words to be published in the Journal of Strategic Information Systems

This was a 3 hour seminar delivered to faculty and students in the business school that discussed how to position articles for publication in the top journals, based upon my experience as SE at MIS Quarterly.

This was a guest presentation to the faculty and students of the University of Missouri-St. Louis that discussed the role of IS in crisis management.
