About Stuart
Associate Professor Stuart Dillon is the Head of the School of Management & Marketing, within the Waikato Management School. Most of Stuart's teaching and research is in the broad area of emerging digital business technologies. In particular, he explores how business adopts contemporary technologies and the impact such adoption has on them.
Current projects include behavioural competencies of IT Project Managers, Beacons, Data Curation as a Service, and Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud Computing. He has published in leading journals such as MIS Quarterly, Journal of Global Information Management, International Journal of Project Management, and Scientometrics. The Department is the sole New Zealand member of the European Center for Information Systems (ERCIS) and Stuart collaborates with number of researchers from other ERCIS members, in particular from the University of Münster
Much of Stuart's research is qualitative and he has a particular interest in interpretative approaches - especially Grounded Theory. He is willing to consider quality proposals from prospective PhD students aligned with his research interests and methods.
