The School of Information Management is proud to announce that Dr Diane Strode has been unanimously selected as the winner of the 2013 PHIS-NZ Information Systems Doctoral Thesis Award, which is presented for the best NZ PhD thesis in Information Systems in New Zealand in 2012.
PHIS-NZ are the Professors and Heads of Information Systems in New Zealand universities, and this is a splendid achievement for Diane and her supervisors Sid Huff, Sebastian Link, and Beverley Hope
Dr Strode’s award-winning thesis "A Theory of Coordination in Agile Software Development" was selected because it addresses an important issue in the information systems field, uses theory in an appropriate and novel way, and is rigorous in its method.
The thesis also makes an original and substantive contribution to understanding the development of information systems.
Dr Strode will receive her award at the IS Doctoral Conference in Auckland on 27 July 2013, where she will give a presentation. It follows earlier success when she collected a Dean's Award for Doctoral Achievement, which recognises excellence in the quality of research and writing in the very best Faculty of Commerce doctoral theses each year.
