Research and Teaching Interests

Professor Dias’s research interests involve the design and use of information systems that support group and interorganizational information sharing and collaboration. He has conducted research as a research associate on two NSF-funded efforts – one on interagency collaborations in public safety and the other on ERP implementation. Martin is particularly interested in improving organizational performance and legitimacy through enhancing the design and implementation of interorganizational information architectures. Accordingly, his teaching has covered the use of information systems in business process management and improvement at the MBA level, and both introduction to management information systems and use of emerging information technology at the undergraduate level.
