Lecturer (Assistant Professor)

Stavros is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Department of Management (Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship)- University of Exeter Business School (UEBS), the Initiative for the Digital Economy at Exeter (INDEX) and DIGIT Lab in London. He holds an MPhil and PhD from the University of Cambridge, Judge Business School (CJBS).

His research programme and interests span three disciplines: management & organisation studies, digital innovation management, and information systems. More specifically, he examines the broader question of how to organise for emerging and algorithmic technologies whilst exploring the associated societal and organisational implications for creating value in the digital age. Methodologically, he employs ethnographic, longitudinal, in-depth qualitative methods to explore these topics.

His research was awarded the 2020 Organisational Communications and Information Systems (OCIS) Division Best Paper Award, at the Academy of Management (AoM) Conference (Vancouver, Canada; held virtually), for his ethnographic study of implementing 3D printing in healthcare.  Stavros’s research has been published in leading, top-tier journals such as Information Systems Research, Information and Organization and the Cambridge Handbook of Qualitative Digital Research.

Stavros has studied 3D-Printing extensively in the healthcare sector for the last decade. His research programme supports a deep engagement agenda, where he nurtures collaborative relationships with industry partners to bridge the research-practice divide. This agenda has led to impactful contributions with broader value for addressing the grand challenges facing organisations and society in a digital age. He also addresses wider practitioner audiences through blog posts.
