"Trifecta model of IT-based regulation"
Lecturer – Prof. Vladislav V. Fomin:
Since the beginning of PhD studies in 1997, I studied different phenomena related to design of Information Technologies (IT) and interaction of social and technological factors in the design and development of IT. My passion and expertise for socio-technical and interdisciplinary research of IT has formed though many professional projects and life experiences. My research and teaching interests are established by two domains of practice and scholarly knowledge: Information Systems and Technologies and Organizational Management. Having lived and worked in several countries (Latvia, Finland, USA, Denmark, France, The Netherlands, Lithuania, Austria), I accumulated culturally and professionally rich experience, as well as developed a tolerant and scholarly perception of the world and the role of the university in it. Over the last two decades, I conducted research and published over 120 works on such topics as standards and standardisation, technology innovation and policy, organizational management, technology education, among other. The most recent directions in my research are those related to the concept of Regulatory Technologies (RegTech) in general, and specifically design and implementation of weakly structured systems (WSS) - the Information Technology systems which enter organizational setting without carrying embedded rules to guide user interaction and execution of organizational routines.
