Dr. Jones' scholarly work examines how collaborative technologies transform organizational practices, with particular focus on knowledge transfer in turbulent environments, virtual team dynamics, and IoT/social media applications for small enterprises. Her methodology integrates diffusion of innovations theory with practical business implementations across educational and commercial contexts.
Publication analysis reveals evolving research trajectories: recent works (2019-2021) investigate IoT in geriatric care and social media's impact on rural tourism, while mid-career studies (2011-2016) established foundational frameworks for knowledge management in high-velocity environments and Web 2.0 business applications. This progression demonstrates consistent adaptation to emerging technological paradigms while maintaining core focus on organizational knowledge processes.
