Carolyn Holton is a Visiting
Instructor in Information Systems and Decision Sciences at the
University of South Florida. Her research interests lie in the
area of computer mediated communications systems, including
the impacts of system monitoring and user culture, the
development of group norms, the spread of rumors and organizational
responses to them, their use for detecting and deterring fraud, and
pedagogical applications. She
also examines information systems leadership issues. The pilot study
from her dissertation, The impact of computer mediated
communication systems monitoring on organizational
communications content, was the basis for an article soon
to appear in IEEE
Transactions on Professional Communications, and her sole
authored work on another aspect of CMC monitoring has been
conditionally accepted at Decision Support Systems. She was selected to attend the 2007 ICIS doctoral
consortium and received the 2008 University of South
Florida College of Business Doctoral Research Award. She
holds a Ph.D. in Information Systems from the University of South
Florida, an M.B.A. from Duke University (Fuqua Scholar), and a B.B.A. from The George
Washington University (summa cum laude). Prior to recognizing
her academic fate, her professional life led her to several novel
applications of IT, some of which were featured in Fast Company and
other business magazines in several countries. |
