Organisation profile
The Digital Organisation and Society (DOS) Research Centre is an interdisciplinary group of researchers whose work focuses on developing a critical understanding of the implications of digital technologies for work, organisations and society. Through our individual and collective research, we seek to provide insights into the complex relationship between human practices and digital artefacts, and to generate responsible impact through influencing the development of organisational, Governmental and global policies around the use of digital technologies. The Centre is hosted by the School of Management, Royal Holloway but includes members from other Schools across the College who are conducting innovative and impactful research on this topic.
We have particular strengths in the research areas of:
- Digital technology, organisation and work;
- Digital economy and innovation
- Digital inequality, ethics and cyberactivism
