Biography

Susanna Ho is a Professor of Information Systems.  Her research focuses on judgment and decision making, big data, and data analytics as they apply to social media, management turnovers and internal control material weaknesses. In particular, she is interested in how they intersect with organisation and team behaviour, social media and corporate social responsibility.  Susanna’s early research examined how web personalisation influences the behaviour of online users and her research portfolio continues in this area.  Her work has been funded by the Australian Research Council’s Discovery Project scheme and by organisations including CPA Australia. Susanna's research has been published in a number of leading academic journals including MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Information Systems Journal, European Journal of Operational Research, Information and Management, Decision Support Systems, and Journal of Business Ethics.
