Jonny Holmström is a Professor at the Department of Informatics,
Umeå University. He holds a Ph.D from Umeå University,
where his dissertation research focused on the organizational issues
involved in the adoption of IT. His research interests include IT's
organizational consequences and digital business. Holmström's
larger research program has examined how organizations innovate with
IT -- in particular how they adapt to using technological innovations
such as decision support systems, client/server development, knowledge
management tools and groupware applications. Holmström is currently
investigating how organizations in the process industry sector can
develop sustainable competitive advantage through mindful use of IT,
and how they develop effective partnership relations to cultivate
such use. He is also currently investigating peer-to-peer filesharing
communities. Holmström has published his research in journals
such as Information and Organization, Information Resources Management
Journal, Information Technology and People, Journal of AIS, Journal
of Global Information Technology Management, and Scandinavian Journal
of Information Systems.
