Research Interests

My research interests lie at the nexus of big data analytics capability, market orientation, and firm performance, with a particular focus on the telecommunications sector in developing economies. My work further explores the role of strategic planning in enhancing organizational outcomes. In addition, I study how software product quality and development practices affect defect rates and overall reliability. I am keenly interested in quantitative research methodologies, survey design, and empirical analysis as tools to advance knowledge on how organizations build dynamic capabilities and achieve sustainable performance improvements.
