About
I am a 1st year graduate student at Brunel University/London. Pursuing my PhD degree at the Information Systems, Computing and Maths department. I hold a BsC degree in Management Information Systems (M.I.S), and a Masters degree of Business Administration/IS (MBA).
I am currently studying Human behaviour in Online communities, and more specifically, why would people continue using such communities over time. I'll be exploring their attitudinal influnces, the values created and exchanged, and the behavioural roles in those digitally engaged communities, which in my point of view is what 'Online communities' should be named nowadays.
I will be ethnographing several cyber-communities over a longititudinal period of time, running semi-structured interviews, and supporting my initial findings with an online survey.
