Second Segment
John Sviokla's current work focuses on advanced information technology. In particular, it addresses how managers can effectively use the power of technology to create more value for customers and extract value through superior financial performance. He is exploring how managers can use information technology to improve profitability and overall organizational performance. His most recent study in this research program investigates the implementation of an expert system to aid insurance field sales people selling life insurance. It is a field experiment that compares the use, or non-use, of the same technology in four similar organizations by a potential 10,000 users over a multi-year time frame. The research is relevant for managers implementing new technology to support knowledge workers and for academics interested in the implementation of new technology.
