Her research focuses on the activities, relationships, conditions, structures and organisational dynamics that support innovation, R&D and technology development and its social integration. Her research interests include technology strategy, knowledge systems and high performance teams.
Other research she is currently exploring includes organizational dynamics and innovation systems, and social innovation. She has worked with senior research engineers in IBM exploring the success factors of high performance teams in the semi-conductor industry and she has extensively researched the Australian biotechnology industry to examine the activities of leaders, scientists social networking, and mentoring that brings innovative companies to success.
Qualifications
PhD 2004, in the field of Technology and Innovation Management, awarded through the School of Engineering, University of Qld.
BSc (Hons) 1998, Bachelor of Science in the field of Botany and first class honours in the field of Molecular Plant Pathology.
Teaching Interests
Some of the subjects Lisa teaches and has taught include management, tech' & innovation management, R&D management, strategic management, ethics and sustainability, and corporate sustainability.
Lisa teaches both undergraduate and post-graduate students in both course work and research programs. She is currently developing a course which explores environmental dynamics, contingencies and the unexpected disruptive influences that induce strategic re-orientations and change in organisations.
Research Interests
Lisa's research interests are focused on innovation and research development activities. In particular the social side of the innovation process, both within organisations and more widely through the social consensus of knowledge and expertise is an area of her investigations. Consequently her interests include the social structure of industry knowledge and the role of consensus and community in the development of knowledge in industry.
Lisa is also interested in the impact of information, innovation and knowledge on organisational strategy and technology development activities. She is currently exploring the dynamic influences and impacts of these forces on the strategic direction and technology development activities of small biotech and ICT firms.
