| Prof Alois C Knoll | Due to the major involvement in the Human Brain Project HBP, a European flagship project, over the last years his research focus has shifted more and more towards neurorobotics. With the neurorobotics platform, a sophisticated tool has been created that will allow both basic researchers in neuroscience and engineers in robotics to integrate their latest insights in theory and practice into fully operational applications for research and development. It can be expected that this platform will serve as a productivity booster both for virtual neuroscience and robotics.

| Assoc Prof Alton Chua Yeow Kuan | Dr Chua’s research interests lie mainly in information and knowledge management, with a particular focus on user-generated content. The themes of his research include community question-answering system, online reviews and rumors in social media. For example, he studied the quality of answers submitted to Yahoo!Answers and whether prompt answers were necessarily of good quality. He also investigated the way questions ought to be phrased to maximize their chances of attracting good answers. On online reviews, he has identified a number of factors that make a given reivew helpful to other users. Another related line of inquiry is the distinctions between authentic reviews and fake reviews. Given the prevalence of online rumors in recent times, Dr Chua's efforts have been trained on understanding the virality of rumors, and how the ill effects of rumors can be curbed through the use of counter-rumors. |

| Assoc Prof Andrea Nanetti | Dr Andrea Nanetti—as a scholar, who started his research vocation in historical studies at the advent of computer operating systems with graphical user interfaces—has always been fascinated by the exponential growth of interdependencies between artificial actions (i.e., human made) and computational operations (i.e., completed by electronic devices able to store and process data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to them in a variable program or machine learning, which allows algorithms to learn through experience, and do things that we are not able to program). With this interest, he is proposing the theoretical need to direct traditional disciplinary knowledge toward a formal science of heritage (i.e., the treasure of human experiences), which will focus on how data and information—now encoded in complex interactions of written, pictorial, sculptural, architectural, and digital records, oral memories, practices, and performed rituals—may be inherited by machine learning algorithms. This state-of-the-art science pioneers integrated action plans and solutions in response to, and in anticipation of, the exponential growth of emerging needs in our increasingly complex human society. In practice, the research uses multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary methods to identify case studies for interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary teamwork investigations.
Since 2007, Dr Nanetti's main research project is EHM-Engineering Historical Memory (http://www.engineeringhistoricalmemory.com, since 2015 on Microsoft Azure). EHM is both an experimental methodology and an ongoing research project for the organization of historical information in the machine learning age. He first theorized it as a Visiting Scholar at Princeton University in 2007. Since his arrival at NTU in 2013, Dr Nanetti has been working on the globalisation of his research interests. Starting from his background studies on the world as seen from Venice through its chronicles and diaries (1205-1433) and world maps (e.g. Fra Mauro), he opened the range of the investigation of other coeval historiographical traditions, in Chinese, Greek, Russian, Persian, and Arab. EHM develops and tests new sets of shared conceptualizations and formal specifications for content management systems in the domain of the Digital Humanities, with a focus on how to engineer the treasure of human experiences and serve decision making, knowledge transmission, and visionarios. In practice, his research develops and applies computationally intensive techniques (e.g., pattern recognition, data mining, machine learning algorithms derived from other disciplines, knowledge aggregators, interactive and visualization solutions). From a theory point of view, EHM focuses on history of historiography and studies new ontologies for the semantic web, inspired by Derrida's notion of trace, Ginzburg's "thread and traces" theory, and last but not least Umberto Eco's semiotics (e.g., 2007 'Dall'Albero al Labirinto', published in English in 2015 as 'From the Tree to the Labyrinth').
In his long-term strategic fit at the NTU Singapore School of Art, Design and Media, Dr Nanetti is designing and engineering a new generation of knowledge aggregators for immersive spaces to test how interactive media and AI can share the century-old experiences of Arts and Humanities with Sciences. In this intellectual framework in 2017 Dr Nanetti initiated an interdisciplinary project to revitalise the social nature of learning experiences from a transcultural perspective. The project is called “Dancing over Ideas of Research”. D.A.N.C.I.N.G. identifies the knowledge aggregation process (Definition, Assumption, Notion, Concept, Interpretation, Narrative, Gamut), which uses AI in immersive spaces to augment and expand the human capacity to discuss complex ideas (i.e., ways of seeing and representing reality) and ultimately facilitate solutions to the 21st century grand challenges. |

| Asst Prof Ben Choi | My research interest is in the area of information technology consumerization, which explores both positive implications and negative implications of technologies. A substantial body of my research is associated with information privacy, particularly the privacy issues invoked through social media usage. I have also investigated the business implications of privacy and security breaches across a broad spectrum of online contexts, such as electronic commerce, in-app purchase, and crowd-funding. More recently, I have started a research program on healthcare-related mobile technologies. |

| Prof Boh Wai Fong | I work in 2 main streams of research: Knowledge and information management, and Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship.
Knowledge management, information processing and knowledge sharing: In examining the topic of knowledge management, information processing and knowledge sharing, I do not restrict my study to the use of IT in facilitating knowledge management. Rather, my perspectives are highly influenced by my work published in Information & Organization (Boh 2017, Information & Organization), which states that a firm needs to use a portfolio of knowledge sharing mechanisms to effectively facilitate knowledge sharing within the firm. Hence, I focus on understanding how individuals share knowledge, and examine what influences the effectiveness of individuals’ knowledge sharing, and in different contexts. As a result, my work straddles both IS and management, as I draw on behavioral theories. This work has appeared in top IS and management journals such as the Management Science, Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.
In my current stream of work in this area, I apply big data and analytical tools, and integrate them with behavioral theories to gain a more in-depth understanding of knowledge sharing and information transfer in different contexts. For example, I apply text mining and text analysis to identify different types of social exchanges Taobao sellers engage in via different types of communication in online forums, to understand how individuals’ social exchanges on Taobao affect sellers’ sales performance on the e-commerce platform. These current projects aim to leverage the advantage of such data, to combine the power of big data analytics (combining recent advances in machine learning and data analytics) with the rich theories in the area of information sharing and social networks.
Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship. In this research, I examine innovation in large corporations and in start-ups. Working with a network of collaborators, this stream of work aims to provide a thorough understanding of the management of innovation both in large corporations and in start-ups. For example, working with 3M and a large local organization, I investigated how the profile of individuals expertise (whether they are generalists with broad expertise, specialists with deep expertise, or T-shaped experts with both broad and deep expertise), as well as how their social network positions influence the innovativeness of individuals (Research Policy 2014, JMS 2014). Extending this work, I am examining different aspects of innovation, both in large and small companies. For example, I examine how the breadth of experience of different types of investors influence external cooperations and innovation performance amongst listed companies in Taiwan, how managers’ power and resource allocations in large conglomerates influence their resource allocations for innovation, and how startups and individuals make use of crowd funding to support innovation.
Leveraging on my interest and knowledge of this research stream, I have obtained two large grants (amounting to almost a million SGD each) from the National Research Foundation in Singapore and the Social Science Research Council. One grant focused on studying innovation in start-ups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore. Another grant focused on examining whether individuals can be effectively trained on opportunities identification. |

ERP systems represent a major change in organisational information systems in terms of their scale and scope, reliance on vendors and advocacy of best practices. They are pervasive and often mission critical. Streamlining and integrating organisational procedures and standardising them over a single platform were what these systems promised. However, cases of expensive ERP implementations going awry has led many to recognise the inherent challenges of successfully implementing such complex package software. Research is currently in progress on these themes: (1) cultural fit of the underlying ERP business models, (2) partitioning the sources of misfits in ERP, (3) challenges in analysing, designing, and implementing ERP, and (4) ERP as an leverage for enterprise integration.
Achieving Global Excellence in Asian Companies: Strategy, Governance and Technology
The growth of the Asian market has led to the development of a select group of Asian companies that have successfully established an international presence. How did these enterprises transform themselves to capture the opportunities in the international market? What strategy and governance principles have they used? How has information technology enabled scale, responsiveness, and innovation in the highly volatile business environment? This research study seeks to understand the practices followed by a handful of leading Asian companies that have clearly established themselves as global leaders.
Tech Disruption and the Quest for New Institutional Legitimacy
Innovation in ICT has disrupted established industries and led to the emergence of new business models which promise to democratize socio-economic relations, bringing new value to customers, workers, and society at large. But as the new business models emerge, they have stirred up many controversies, challenged by various stakeholders in a tussle for new legitimacy. I seek to understand the chaotic process in the dynamic struggle for new legitimacy. What are the legitimacy challenges that tech disruptors face? How can these legitimacy challenges be overcome to achieve success? How are the tech disruptors able to influence the field-level processes of institutionalization to gain legitimacy? What tactics are used in the related struggles?
Tech Innovations for Inclusive Development in Emerging Markets
Exciting new technological innovations are promising new possibilities and opportunities for inclusive growth in the emerging markets. However, real success of such tech innovations in enabling social and economic developments remain elusive as these emerging markets are often stumbled by the lack of fundamental infrastructure and inadequate formal institutional structure. How tech disruptors can innovatively address, bridge or even leverage these institutional voids is a research question that I seek to understand. What are the strategies the tech disruptors employ to address the institutional voids and other institutional challenges in emerging markets? How do these tech disruptors balance the pursuit of market growth and the creation of impactful social outcomes?
