I have been a Professor of information systems at Turku School of Economics since 1998. I studied in Turku School of Economics in 1982-1989 majoring in information systems and obtained a doctor's degree from the same school at 1996. I have made research and teaching visits to University of Kentucky, University of Vaasa, West Georgia State University, and University of Twente. I was Principal Teacher of information systems subject in 1999-2006, Head of Department of Management in 1999-2008 and Vice Dean of Turku School of Economics in 2010-2018.

I have been actively involved in developing our international manster's programs: The “Global IT Management” (GITM) master’s program as a double degree program with Tilburg University (the Netherlands), University of Passau (Germany) and Central China Normal University (Wuhan, China); and International Master in Management of Information Technology (IMMIT) as a multiple degree program of Tilburg University, Turku School of Economics, and Paul Cezanne University in Aix en Provence. I'm currently teaching an advanced level on-line course on Management of IS Projects, and involved in our master's thesis and doctoral seminars. I have previously lectured topics such as Business Information Systems, Accounting Information Systems, Enterprice Reseource Planning, and Software Business. As Vice Dean for education, I was responsible for reforms in the school's B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs, and participated in initial preparations for acquiring AACSB accreditation.
