Biography

Professor Anna Morgan-Thomas is a strategic academic leader and leading scholar in digital transformation. Her research explores how emerging technologies — particularly AI, digital platforms, and digital marketing tools — reshape organizational strategy and performance across firms, governments, and academia. Her interdisciplinary research bridges marketing, strategy, international business, and public administration. Current projects examine AI-driven entrepreneurship and government digitalization, alongside policy collaborations in Southeast Asia and Poland.

As Dean of Research at the triple-accredited Adam Smith Business School, she oversaw research strategy during the REF2021 submission, a period when the School achieved a 31-place climb, reflecting the REF team’s outstanding efforts. She has mentored over 20 PhD graduates to academic and policy roles, shaped national doctoral policy as Associate Director of the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science and enhanced global standards as an AMBA peer reviewer. A long-serving member of University Senate’s Academic Standards Committee, she drives governance and diversity, with work on academic equity and inclusion.

Anna has published widely on digital transformation and online engagement, with high-impact articles in Research Policy, Journal of Business Research, Long Range Planning, and Academy of Management Learning & Education. Her earlier research on digital brand engagement and consumer ecosystems continues to attract citations and has informed her broader exploration of how technologies mediate relationships, strategy, and institutional purpose.

She has held senior academic leadership roles at the Adam Smith Business School, including Dean of Postgraduate Research and Dean of Research, where she led REF strategy, research infrastructure development, and doctoral programme reform. Her leadership has contributed to record improvements in research performance and funding, alongside a sustained commitment to early-career development and inclusion.

Anna is currently Associate Editor for European Management Journal and serves on AMBA’s international peer review team. She welcomes opportunities for collaboration, advisory work, and external engagement aligned with strategic innovation, digital transformation, and academic leadership.

Research interests

Overview

I am a globally recognized scholar of digital transformation, ranked among the top 2% most cited scholars worldwide, with high-impact publications in Research Policy, Journal of Business Research, and Long Range Planning. My interdisciplinary research explores how digital technologies—particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms—reshape organizational strategies, institutional practices, and global systems. Spanning international business, research policy, and marketing, my work bridges academic and policy impact, advancing debates on digital innovation, academic equity, and global collaboration. As Associate Editor of European Management Journal, I shape contemporary discussions on digital-era organizing.

Current Projects and Impact

My research advances digital transformation across diverse contexts, building on high-impact publications like Research Policy (2024) on REF2021 and Journal of Business Research (2020, 2024) on digital platforms. I explore artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in organizational settings, with ongoing work examining their role in reshaping strategies and routines. In international business, I investigate digital strategy in post-transition economies, drawing on collaborations with Polish enterprises. My Southeast Asian projects with policymakers (Thailand, Indonesia) inform digital innovation in government. Additionally, my work on research policy and academic inclusion addresses structural challenges in academia, shaped by my research leadership at the Adam Smith Business School.

Research Interests and Approaches

I focus on digital transformation as a sociotechnical process, examining how digital technologies mediate organizational and institutional change. Key areas include:

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Investigating their role in reshaping strategies, routines, and decision-making in firms and public sector organizations.
Digital Platforms and Digital Innovation: Exploring platform-based transformation in global markets, building on my work in Long Range Planning.
International Business: Analysing digital transformation, digital strategy and digital global startups
Research Policy and Academic Inclusion: Studying how evaluation systems (e.g., REF) and digital metrics shape equity and diversity, with a focus on equity for migrant scholars.
Sociotechnical Dynamics: Applying socio-technical systems and socio-technical interactions frameworks (e.g., Schatzki, Orlikowski) to understand technology’s role in organizing.

My approach integrates critical realism and practice-based theorizing, rejecting technological determinism to uncover the interplay between technology and human agency.

Supervisory Interests

I welcome PhD projects on digital transformation, AI, and digital platforms, particularly those exploring sociotechnical dynamics in organizations or global contexts. I’m also interested in research policy and academic inclusion, focusing on equity and diversity in academia. My supervisory experience spans 20+ doctoral completions, with graduates securing roles in academia, government, and international organizations. I encourage interdisciplinary proposals grounded in critical realism or socio-technical approaches, aligned with my expertise in digital innovation, international business, and institutional change.

Sociotechnical Dynamics: Studies exploring socio-technical systems or socio-technical interactions in digital transformation processes.
International Business: Research on digital strategy in post-transition economies, building on my work with Polish enterprises.
Research Policy and Inclusion: Proposals on research policy, academic inclusion, or equity in academia, particularly for underrepresented groups.

I encourage interdisciplinary approaches grounded in critical realism or socio-technical frameworks. Contact me to discuss your ideas and alignment with my research.
