I currently conduct research in three primary areas: 1) social capital and social networks, 2) participatory decision-making in management and governance, and 3) the strategic, managerial, and governance implications of information technology. I have also done a fair amount of research on social movement organizations and conflict. Below is a list of the "deliverables" of this research. For access to replication data sets and copies of these papers, see the paper archive. My curriculum vitae contains a complete list of my research accomplishments, including a list of academic presentations I have made. Lastly, the nascent links to the left will take you to several pages that contain further information on my work in these areas as well as useful links for conducting your own research.

Benchmarking Quality of Life in Greater Rochester: A Service-Learning Report. Submissions and Working Papers Social Capital and Social Networks In this stream of research, I am interested in the individual-, organizational- and societal-level effects of social capital and social networks. At the individual level, I am in the first stages of a study on “The Impact of Intra- and Extra-Organizational Social Ties on Exit, Voice, and Loyalty.” At the macro level, I am interested in the impact of social capital on the growth, decline, and financial viability of a community’s aggregate business and nonprofit sectors. For example, in a study recently published in Social Science Quarterly, I build on theories of community development, social networks, and organizational ecology through an in-depth examination of the relationships between six discrete dimensions of social capital and nonprofit organizational foundings. I am also completing the following work in progress, which includes an in-depth focus on the determinants of nonprofit organization's mortality rates and financial vulnerability.
Participatory Decision-Making Processes and Stakeholder Involvement I am actively engaged in a project on the origins and outcomes of participatory stakeholder involvement and decision-making processes that crosses the boundaries of strategy, organizational theory, and social issues in management. In a series of papers, I explore both the societal causes of increased demand for participative practices and the implications of heightened participation on organizational strategy, governance, design, innovation, leadership, and management. As part of this work, I have created a web site, http://www.ParticipatorySociety.org, on which I explore these ideas and include a growing list of examples, links, and bibliographical resources. Below is the first set of working papers on the subject:
Strategic and Managerial Effects of Information Technology In this stream of research, I am interested in the organizational implications of advanced information technologies in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. I am especially interested in the technology’s potential to effect significant organizational and sectoral change by fostering entrepreneurial solutions to pressing organizational problems, innovative means of enhancing organizational effectiveness, and new forms of accountability, stakeholder participation, and corporate social performance. In addition to publications listed above, I am working on the following papers:
