My research focuses on the future of work in global organizations -- how to design thriving collaborations for better employee health, creativity, and innovativeness in global virtual work.

Traditional work design theories have not kept pace with changes in modern day work. My research addresses this gap by focusing on work design and management of global virtual collaborations – situations in which knowledge workers are at a distance from other team members and must rely on communication technology to facilitate their interaction across distance, language, and cultures.

His latest books is called Friends: Understanding the Power of Our Most Important Relationships.
