My presentation given at the SIM Workshop in Phoenix, Arizona has just reached 1,000 views on my SlideShare account. This was a great experience for me and I am so happy to see that I can share the findings from a research study with a broader audience!
Greetings!
I am an Assistant Professor in the Information Systems and Operations Management Department at Loyola University Maryland. My primary research interest focuses on the intersection of digital and social networks in three areas: user-generated content business models, social media, and knowledge management.
Please feel free to peruse my personal site to learn more about my current research projects, published work, and teaching materials. I also have a short personal page that contains some pictures of my travels and family.

“Dr. Paul Di Gangi from Western Carolina University and a member of Nordic Virtual World Network gave a guest lecture on SSE”s island in Second Life to the students of the Media Management Course at the Stockholm School of Economics and the Royal Institute of Technology. Paul’s lecture was part of the Strategy Module in this course, and focused on ‘Exploring Business Models and the Role of Information Technology on Value Creation.”

This was a lot of fun! Below is a picture of my audience:

Greetings,
Welcome to the personal website of Dr. Paul M. Di Gangi. My research focuses on the intersection of social and digital networks and organizations, with an emphasis on three areas: (1) exploring user-generated content oriented business models, (2) using virtual network environments for innovation, and (3) identifying the factors that lead to successful knowledge management within and across the organizational boundary. Currently, I am examining engagement behaviors in user-generated content websites such as Facebook, YouTube, Dell IdeaStorm, and Digg.com.
My research has been presented at the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Academy of Management (AOM), International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration, and the International Sunbelt Social Network Conference. Additionally, my research has been published in the Annals of Information Systems: Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning edition, Decision Support Systems, and MIS Quarterly Executive.
I strive to be an engaged teacher in my classroom by providing a mixture of instructional styles. I believe that developing an open and transparent relationship in the classroom is vital to the success of educating the future business leaders of tomorrow. Currently, I am teaching in both the undergraduate and graduate programs at Western Carolina University. I am the inaugural professor of the undergraduate Introduction to Project Management in Practice course required for all College of Business students. I also teach the Foundations of Project Management course in the Masters of Project Management program.
