About Liaquat
I am interested in the area of social networks theory and analytical methods, coordination theory, computer supported cooperative work and human and computer interactions. In particular, I am interested in exploring (modeling and empirical investigation) the effects of different types of social network structures and patterns of information technology use on group behavior, coordination, individual and organisational performance from a theoretical and an applied perspective.
