Alba Graduate Business School
6-8 Xenias Str. Athens
Assistant Professor in Information Systems at Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge
Dr. Stella Pachidi, a Poets & Quants Best 40-under-40 Professor, will present her pioneering research that has been published in world-leading academic journals such as Organization Science. How do novel algorithmic technologies and artificial intelligence tools change the nature of work and specifically knowledge creation and sharing processes or decision making methods? By drawing on ethnographic and other qualitative studies she will present the unavoidable changes that emerge in the structure and culture of a company, in the management of human resources, and in the patterns of cross-disciplinary collaboration. She will conclude by focusing on the role of leadership in activating and handling such changes.
