Jane Fedorowicz

Jane Fedorowicz was designated as Professor Emerita following her retirement in 2023. Previously, she held the Chester B. Slade Professor of Accounting and Information Systems, holds a joint appointment in the Accountancy Department and the Information and Process Management Department at Bentley. Professor Fedorowicz earned MS and PhD degrees in Systems Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University. Her current research interests include Working From Home during the Covid-19 pandemic, police use of social media, ICT use by refugees, and diversity and inclusion in Information Systems and academia. She was integral in the creation of Bentley's STEM-designated Masters' Degree in Accounting which offers five concentrations with strong analytics and information technology foci.

Her newest research project examines the role of technology in the forced move to Working From Home during the Covid-19 pandemic. She also researches police social media use, with a current interest in their activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was principal investigator of a National Science Foundation project team studying design issues for police and government agency collaboration using public safety networks. She also served as principal investigator for the Bentley Invision Project, an international research team housed at Bentley examining interorganizational information sharing and the coordination infrastructures supporting these relationships in supply chain, government, and health care. Professor Fedorowicz has published more than 150 articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings, and is a past recipient of the Bentley Scholar of the Year designation. Bentley awarded her the Mee Family Prize in 2016 in recognition of her lifetime scholarly achievements.

She has served in a governance capacity for a number of professional associations, including the Association for Information Systems (AIS), the American Accounting Association (AAA) and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). Most recently, she served as President of the international academic professional society, the Association for Information Systems and was General Co-chair of their International Conference on Information Systems in 2019 held in Munich, Germany. The Association for Information Systems recognized her contributions to the Information Systems field by naming her an AIS Fellow and a member of the College of Senior Scholars, and in 2018, bestowing their most prestigious lifetime achievement recognition, the LEO Award.
