The election results for the OCIS Leadership that rotates in starting August 2007 are in! We had 31% of our membership vote this year which is a great number! Please introduce yourself to each of these individuals at the next meeting or send them an email to say hello and how you would like to help make OCIS the best division in the Academy!
- Program Chair Elect: Brian Butler
Brian is an Associate Professor of Business Administration in the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business at University of Pittsburgh with research interests including the development and modeling of online communities, the interplay of power and information technology in organizations, and techniques for managing and developing complex information systems to support reliable organizational and individual performance. He has been a member of the OCIS division of the Academy for over 10 years. During that time he has actively participated as a reviewer, presenter, and discussant. He also attended the OCIS doctoral consortium and junior faculty workshops. In the past few years, he supported OCIS by working on the team that redesigned the OCIS website and has served as the division’s first CIO through August 2007. As program chair elect (and in the subsequent leadership roles) Brian has offered to work to build on the solid foundation of membership, scholarship, and leadership that exists within OCIS to increase our impact in the Academy and the larger academic and practitioner communities. Welcome aboard, Brian! Contact him at

Her research focuses on the organizational change induced by information technologies, such as integrated software packages and open source software. In her most recent work on software packages, she investigated how a human agency perspective could explain different types of technology enactments. Since joining AoM as a doctoral student, she has been a member of the OCIS division and has attended and participated in many of the Academy’s conferences including participating in the OCIS junior faculty workshop in 2001.

- Student Rep at Large: Yukika Awazu
Yukika is a doctoral student at Elkin B. McCallum Graduate School of Business at Bentley College, where she is serving as an inaugural Henry E. Rauch Doctoral Fellow. Her research interest is how communications in organizations will be shaped in dynamically changing environments. Specifically, her research focuses on how innovation projects can be conducted in contexts where expertise, location, culture, time, language, and situation are distributed, via Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). She joined Bentley in Fall, 2006 and became a student member of OCIS division. Before starting a Ph.D. program, she worked as a researcher and consultant in the area of information and knowledge management. Through her business and research engagements, she saw that global projects, composed of members who do not have shared experiences and cultures, turned to be very successful or disastrous and became very interested in studying it scientifically. She had chances to work with senior executives and academic researchers who have interdisciplinary background and learned from them how to study the real-world phenomenon from interdisciplinary views. OCIS is a division where interdisciplinary researchers share their interests and contribute their knowledge. I would be very much interested in engaging the OCIS community. She received a Bachelor of Political Studies degree from Gakushuin University in Tokyo, and earned both an M.A. in Economics and an M.B.A from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has published several articles in business/academic journals in Information Systems, Information Management, and Knowledge Management. Yukika strongly believes that it is important to build communities of doctoral students where they can share their information and knowledge effectively and efficiently. This is important because doctoral students, as future faculty members, need to have place where they learn how to contribute to scientific community. Currently, thanks to the current student representatives, the size of OCIS doctoral students is growing and beginning to share/exchange information. The next step would be how we can increase the mass and quality of information and knowledge exchanged. Also, aligning the purpose of the doctoral community with that of an upper division would be important. Communities are living creatures that are constantly evolving. Welcome aboard, Yukika.
