About
Mahak Nagpal is a rising scholar whose work critically examines the intersection of technology, business, and society. Her primary research focus is on technosolutionism—the pervasive belief that technology can uniquely and effectively solve complex organizational and societal problems. In her highly cited 2024 paper, “Is Technology Uniquely Placed to Solve Our Problems? An Examination Into Technosolutionism, What It Entails and What It Predicts,” Nagpal challenges this assumption by exploring how perceptions of technology’s impact vary across different contexts and stakeholders. This work, which has already garnered 6 citations, provides a foundational framework for understanding the limits and unintended consequences of technological optimism. Her contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers in management, innovation studies, and science and technology studies, as she pushes for a more nuanced, critical approach to digital transformation. By questioning the narrative that technology is a universal fix, Nagpal offers a timely and essential perspective for anyone interested in responsible innovation and the real-world implications of tech-driven solutions.
