Sander Paul Zwanenburg

Biography

Dr Zwanenburg has been a Lecturer in the Department of Information Science since June 2016 and is Case Writer at the Asia Case Research Centre. He earned a Bachelor and a Master of Science degree in Economics and Business from the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and a PhD degree in Management Information Systems from The University of Hong Kong. In The Netherlands, he first studied how firms can make more intelligent decisions with big data. After his move to Hong Kong, he flipped the coin, focusing on how using information technology can also harm decision-making. Drawing on a synthesis of theories, he examines how using technologies like the smartphone can lead to addiction, and how such addiction can impede the replenishment of energy that is necessary for self-control at work. The increasing relevance of insights in these topics has led Sander Paul to present them in both academia and industry. He has also developed a research interest in the adoption of multiple methods to measure constructs with better validity. Sander Paul teaches papers like Information Systems Strategy and Governance and Information and Communication Technology. He welcomes inquiries from students who seek supervision, especially from those with an interest in research topics that intersect the fields of Information Systems and Management or Organisational Behaviour.
