About
I am an associate professor of management. I head a new Center for Research on Organizations and Workplaces (here http://crow.kozminski.edu.pl is its homepage) at Kozminski University.
My interests include critical management studies, narrativity, storytelling, organizational archetypes, occupational identities, all studied by interpretive and qualitative methods.
Most of my research so far has been evolving around knowledge-intensive workplace, organizations and professional culture, with particular focus on software development.
Currently, I am working on two projects: one is on lawyers professional identity (I study LLM students in American and European schools), the other is on trust and authority enactment in open-source projects on the example of Wikipedia.
I have some professional experience with managing software project, since I am the founder of a limited liability company, running, among others, the biggest and the most popular Polish online dictionary http://www.ling.pl as well as several other portals (including http://www.angielski.edu.pl or http://www.anglisci.pl or http://www.angool.com - all related to language education for Poles, and having the total number of monthly exposures reaching 30 million hits).
2000-2004 I was a Ph.D. candidate in management at Kozminski University. 2004-2005 I spent as a Fulbright scholar at Cornell University. 2005-2009 I was an assistant professor of management back at Kozminski University, with an annual break to go for a semester as a visiting scholar to Harvard University (2007) and University of California, Berkeley (2008). In 2009 I defended my habilitation and became an associate professor of management. The academic year 2011-2012 I'm spending at Harvard, studying lawyers and writing up a book on Wikipedia.
I strongly believe that academic work should be interesting and fun, and I serve as the Polish Desk Chief for the Annals of Improbable Research magazine - http://improbable.com/ - more widely known as Ig Nobel Prize granting institution.
