About

My name is Shaoqin Tang. I am an assistant professor in the IB Department at the Darla Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina. My research focuses on how organizations leverage algorithmic technologies and governance strategies to manage human capital. My dissertation focuses on the context of open source innovation, aiming to understand how firms active on open source platforms orchestrate their internal developers and crowd contributors that are outside formal organizational boundaries.
