Sampath Bemgal

Sampath Bemgal is an Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems in the Faculty of Management at the University of New Brunswick. He holds a PhD from Ivey Business School (Western University) and researches complex digital transformations in organizations with particular focus on healthcare settings.

His research examines technology-enabled organizational change through theoretical frameworks including critical realism, sensemaking, and socio-materiality. Current projects investigate generative mechanisms in IT transformations, technology appropriation processes, and human agency in digital transitions, primarily in hospital and laboratory environments.

Methodologically, Bemgal employs qualitative and interpretive approaches to develop causal explanations of IT phenomena. His publication record demonstrates consistent application of critical realism to understand the 'why' behind digital transformations beyond descriptive 'how' accounts.

Professional contributions include service on conference program committees and collaborations with healthcare institutions. Current teaching spans undergraduate and graduate courses in information systems.
