About

Samer Faraj is a leading scholar in technology and organizing, whose work fundamentally reshapes how we understand the intersection of digital innovation, work practices, and coordination. His research centers on emerging technologies—including AI, robotics, and digital platforms—and their profound implications for organizational dynamics. Faraj’s most influential contribution, "We Are All Theorists of Technology Now" (2022, 246 citations), offers a groundbreaking relational perspective on how rapidly evolving technologies like AI and blockchain transform organizing, arguing that we must rethink traditional theories of technology’s role. His landmark studies on robotic surgery, particularly "Losing Touch: An Embodiment Perspective on Coordination in Robotic Surgery" (2020, 111 citations), reveal how technologies like the Da Vinci robot disrupt embodied coordination in operating rooms, highlighting the loss of tactile and sensory engagement. Through meticulous field studies, Faraj demonstrates that technology is not merely a tool but a force that reshapes practices, identities, and power dynamics. His work has garnered widespread recognition for its theoretical depth and practical relevance, making him a pivotal voice in information systems and organization studies. For students and researchers, Faraj’s research offers a compelling lens to examine how technology redefines work, collaboration, and human experience in the digital age.
