Dr Diana Limburg

At Oxford Brookes I have taught on/led:

• Information Systems Strategy
• Business Intelligence and Decision Making
• Global Business Environments
• Digital Strategy and Leadership
• IS skills for PG HR students
• eBusiness
• Management Information Systems
• Knowledge Management for Competitive Advantage
• Digital Technology for Management and Business
• Essential Information Skills
• Research in Accounting
• Strategic Information Management

I have 25+ years experience teaching at Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels, as well as in executive training. I started my academic career at Twente University in The Netherlands and moved to Brookes in 2004. Modules taught and led include: eBusiness, Management Information Systems, IT-related change, Strategic Information Systems and Strategic Information Management, Excel skills, Knowledge Management, Business Intelligence (using SAS Enterprise Guide) and Global Business Environments.

I am currently external examiner at Bradford University (for their MBA) and was external examiner at Buckingham University and Northumbria University. I have participated in numerous validation and quality assurance committees.

I have two PhD completions at Brookes; one on eGovernment, and one on FinTech. I currently co-supervise (with Dr Paul Jackson) a part-time PhD student on Enterprise Performance Management systems in Hight Tech Engineering. I am interested in supervising PhDs on strategic Information Systems/Information Technology application, especially in relation to performance management and not-for-profit organisations.

My research interests are applied (knowledge transfer) and in three related areas.

1. Use of IT in not-for-profit organisations, especially to support integrated performance management (EPM).
2. Strategic use of IT in SMEs, particularly through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
3. Enterprise Performance Management more generally as well as Business Intelligence.

The KTP work has lead to significant immediate and longer-term benefits for the organisations involved. Some of these are explained in this short video.

The work with charities has helped charities improve their use of data for decision making

I am board member (treasurer) of the UKAIS (UK Academy for Information Systems) and organising chair of the annual UKAIS PhD consortium. I have reviewed papers for major conferences as well as academic journals and organised a track for AMCIS (American Conference of IS).
