Research interests
Innovation and management in high tech organisations, are Dr Ciesielska’s main research focus. Her doctoral dissertation looked at the case of NOKIA corporation and their open source strategy. Dr Ciesielska spend over two years following NOKIA’s actions within two Open Source Software projects: Linux-based GNOME and Maemo (currently Intel’s MeeGo), which enabled her to gain in-depth knowledge about the nature of the software business and open source innovation challenges. To analyse an emerging hybrid business model in between two institutional arrangements (market and open source), three themes were taken into account: knowledge management, trust and internal identity struggle between being an open and close-mode company. More recently, within Social Inclusion through the Digital Economy (SiDE) project, she was investigating smart home business cases in the connected home industry. Dr Ciesielska has also undertaken research in entrepreneurial processes in SMEs.
