Assistant professor Jan Kietzmann received his PhD in 2007 from the London School of Economics and joined SFU Business in 2008.
Jan’s research interests involve the intersection of mobility of work and wireless computing. Of particular interest are “smart” technologies such as mobile Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) that surpass the basic affordances of mobile telephony.
As objects gain an increasingly loud and clear voice in organizational information flows, Jan aims to understand the changing “role of the artifact” as well as the transformation of the individual and the relationships of the mobile worker, his or her colleagues, superiors and customers.
Jan further studies the participatory innovation processes that connect organizations with the mobile communities that form their future target audiences, both users and customers.
Jan, who has a passionate interest in teaching, now teaches Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Surrey campus, where he likes to incorporate emerging technological inventions and innovations into the classroom experience.
