Deputy Programme Leader - BA (Hons) Business

Wojciech.Kwiatkowski@uws.ac.uk

I am a Lecturer in Business and Management and the School of Business and Creative Industries. I hold an Associate Fellowship of Advance HE (formerly the Higher Education Academy). I was previously employed as an Adjunct Academic (2019) and Graduate Teaching Assistant (2016-2019) at the Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester.

I obtained my PhD in Business and Management from the Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, in 2020. My doctoral thesis explored how issues of competence, knowledge, power, identity, technology and the material world at large shaped the service delivery process of a specialist IT consultancy. It drew on socio-constructivist approaches to the study of organisational knowledge and learning, including knowledge-ceation theory and pratice-based theorising of organisational knowledge and learning.

In my current work, I draw on practice theorising to explore organisational knowledge and learning, technology design, effects of new technologies on work and organising, and the power relations inherent in all of them. I also have an interest in scrutinising the harmony and dissonance between scholarly accounts of knowing and the knowing involved in research practice.
