I have funding to support one Ph.D. student to pursue a doctoral degree
in business administration.
In particular, I would like to work with a student who is interested in
studying the content and the communities of the Wikimedia projects.
I am in the process of developing a research project to examine the
working principles of Wikimedia. This project is an extension to my
earlier work on open source where I develop a community-based model of
knowledge creation based on Linux kernel development (Lee, 2003 in
Organization Science).
This fellowship is designed to train/develop academic researchers. The
student is expected to develop original research proposal(s) and conduct
empirical tests. Most students become employed as university professors
upon graduation.
Please contact me if you are interested in the opportunity, or if you
know some one whom you would recommend.
