Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University in Central New York. The 2008 AACSB International Impact of Research Task Force Report profiles his research on "why knowledge management systems fail" as an "exemplar" - among others such as Black and Scholes, Jensen and Meckling, and, Modigliani and Miller - of how basic research can have substantial impact on actual practice.

Recognizing the futility of extant information systems models evident in large-scale systems failures, his research has focused on developing understanding about organizational knowledge management systems that can withstand radical unpredictable change and related risk management, managerial control and user compliance issues. His research and guidance are cited in worldwide strategy directives of global corporations, national legislatures and policies of world governments, and, defense directives of worldwide military commanders.
