Gian Marco Campagnolo

Gian Marco Campagnolo teaches and researches in the Social Study of Information Systems at the University of Edinburgh, where he is a Lecturer in Science, Technology, and Innovation Studies within the School of Social and Political Science and a member of the Institute for the Study of Science Technology and Innovation (ISSTI). He recently participated in a national IT project on interoperability and applications cooperation among Regions (www.progettoicar.it), covering issues of local IT development in rural areas. Previously, he has also been involved in an EU project where he participated as an action researcher in the development of enterprise modeling software solutions for industrial users (mapper.eu.org). In the last few years he also did extensive fieldwork on the diffusion of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in public sector organizations in Italy. His current research interests concern the implications of the rise of large-scale information infrastructures as an object of study for social theory (namely ethnomethodology and micro-sociology); the diffusion of generic commercial software on engineering expertise, IT consultancy, and its transformations over time.
