I study authority and accountability in the workplace, especially in the context of technological change. My current work examines human–AI augmentation and its consequences for professionals and organizations. I use ethnographic and field-based methods, complemented by comparative-historical analysis of archival data and computational analysis of large text corpora. My research appears in Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Annals, Annals of the Academy of Political and Social Science, Research Policy, JASIST, and HBR.
