Introduction

Jean-Grégoire's teaching and research focuses on issues pertaining to the adoption, implementation, and governance of IT-enabled organisational innovations within and across organisations. His PhD in Management from Queen's University (Canada) investigated how four high-growth ventures from the high-tech and creative industries appropriated information technology to solve three types of organisational problems: mobilising the workforce, pooling work artefacts among occupational communities and reporting accountability. 

Jean-Grégoire is currently pursuing a research project on how entrepreneurs of high-growth ventures learn about IT innovations, how they acquire IT resources, and how they adopt IT innovations to facilitate the scaling of their business. He is also conducting research about the competitive and institutional dynamics of markets for IT innovations, and about the sustainability of online communities. His work on these topics draws on a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, and sits at the intersection of information systems, social informatics and organisation studies. Before joining the Victoria University of Wellington, Jean-Grégoire taught at HEC Montréal and acted as research project manager at CIRANO, a Montréal-based academic research centre.
