Mike Chiasson is a Professor at the Faculty of Management at the University of British Columbia's Kelowna campus. He joined UBC in 2014 after previously serving as a Professor of Information Systems at Lancaster University's Management School and as an Associate Professor at the Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary (1999-2006).
His educational background includes a Post Doctoral Fellowship at the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UBC, a Ph.D. in Management Information Systems from UBC Faculty of Commerce, and a B.Com. (with Distinction) in Finance/Accounting from the University of Alberta, Faculty of Business.
Dr. Chiasson's research examines how social context affects and is affected by information systems development and implementation, using a range of social theories. His work spans system development (public policy, user involvement, agile development, outsourcing), effects of IT (entrepreneurial capabilities, diffusion and infusion, organizational change, client-patient outcomes), and specific IT applications (enterprise resource planning, eHealth, electronic health records) within medical, legal, entrepreneurial, and governmental settings. His empirical work mixes quantitative and qualitative data with a strong emphasis on participant observation, contributing to social theory (ANT, Habermas, pragmatism, structuration theory, entrepreneurial opportunities), action research, and research methods.
Analysis of his recent publications shows a continued focus on information systems, digital innovation, and healthcare applications of technology, with increasing attention to philosophical foundations of IS research, critical realism, and systems of innovation frameworks.
