Biography
Joseph Feller is Professor of Information Systems and Digital Transformation, and serves as Programme Co-Director of the BSC in Business Information Systems, at the Cork University Business School, University College Cork.
Prof Feller’s research explores mass collaboration and peer-production phenomena (e.g. open source software/hardware/content/design; open innovation; open education/data/science; crowdsourcing and crowdfunding) and the use of games and simulation in teaching, innovation, and operational decision making.
His work is published/accepted in Information Systems Research, Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of the Association of Information Systems, Journal of Information Technology, Information Systems Journal, European Journal of Information Systems, Journal of Strategic Information Systems, Information and Organization, Information Technology and People, International Journal of Electronic Commerce, and other highly respected peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
His research has been funded by European Commission (FP5/FP6), Irish Research Council, Science Foundation Ireland, Anspar Foundation (USA), and by direct-funding from partners. In 2015-2016, he was Founding President of Special Interest Group on Open Research and Practice (SIGOPEN) of the Association of Information Systems.
He currently teaches a series of four modules focused on professional development and ethics for Information Systems professionals (BSc BIS Year 1-4). He has over 20 years experience teaching in higher education and has previously taught modules on software development, database development, digital strategy, innovation strategy, interaction design, and research design and methods.
