This century, the classical firm will be transformed, as organizations: (i) embrace evolving digital infrastructure, (ii) implement massively-scaleable platforming practices, (iii) Re-balance the work of humans and machines, and  (iv) embrace more scientific and data-driven management methodologies. My research seeks optimal approaches to innovating, designing and scaling these 21st Century organizations. I use a combination of large-scale field experiments and quantitative analysis to test and advance theory.
