Her major areas of interest include behavioral issues related to the use of collaboration technologies for group work, particularly electronic communication media, managerial decision processes and factors related to World Wide Web use. She also studies the way students learn in face-to-face mode versus online format.  She states, “My research interests focus mainly around the behavioral issues related to the use of collaboration technologies for group work. I have studied how students and managers accept and use various electronic collaboration technologies for completing group work, focusing specifically on the use of email and videoconferencing. In several studies I have completed, I examined how effectively the more recently developed communication technologies can be used for teamwork. With my colleagues, I designed and developed an instrument for measuring the media richness of the various technologies. Most recently, we are in the process of studying how electronic communication tools support cross-cultural group work. I have also worked on the education side of research, examining how various electronic tools can help students to learn better, both in a face-to-face class setting as well as in an online format. I have designed various electronic tools to help students more easily learn about such concepts as linear programming, project management and other Operations Management tools and techniques. I have also compared the learning of my online students to that of my face-to-face students by looking at learning styles, majors and various other variables.“
