Brian Lee

Hi! Welcome to my homepage. My name is Brian Lee. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Supply Chain and Information Systems at the Smeal College of Business, Pennsylvania State University.

My research primarily focuses on information strategy for the future of work. Specifically, I study how technologies foster innovation and creativity, and how firms and communities manage risk and build resilience through data and information. My work has been published in prestigious journals such as Information Systems Research, Journal of Management Information Systems, MIS Quarterly, Management Science, and Production and Operations Management.
