Research information:

Advances in information and computing technology, the proliferation of online social networks and ever-lowering costs to store massive amounts of data are drastically changing how we socialize, work and shop by dramatically improving our ability to capture, analyze and communicate large amounts of data about these activities. New technologies and the data trail they foster represent an unprecedented opportunity for people to make more informed choices, for businesses to organize work more effectively and for brands to better target consumers.

As Canada Research Chair in Information and Performance Management, Dr. Jacomo Corbo’s research centers on how the structure, evolution and behaviour of massive social and information networks can be regulated and improved.

Corbo's research focuses on measuring, modelling and managing the impact of large-scale social networks on consumer demand, knowledge worker productivity, organizational performance and firm competitiveness.

He also studies how firms deal with the growing torrent of data potentially available to them and what the economic returns are to data and information technology investments.

This research will improve our fundamental understanding of what makes knowledge workers productive, what makes data and information technology economically valuable and how information networks should be designed and managed to promote better-informed consumers and more competitive firms.

Research information:

I'm currently examining the role and treatment of information in public policy and operations in criminal justice: statistics, databases, registries, administrative operational data, research results etc. This information arises and is used as evidence in investigations and decisions of a wide range of police, judicial and correctional institutions. I am particularly interested in the validity and reliability of information and of procedures for its use, as well as implications for rights to privacy.
