I am Michal Hron
Designing and Diagnosing Digital
Research at the intersection of digital innovation, organizing, and methodological reflection.
See my workI study digital transformation while it is still happening. The work asks how a new technology moves through organizations, fields, and institutions: what shapes it, what it shapes, what it leaves behind.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University in Belgium. The work sits between organizational theory and information systems, and treats digital transformation as a long, observable process.
New technologies arrive announced and end up ordinary. I study what happens in between: the visions that organize early imagination, the hype cycles that compress time and distort judgment, the moments that lock a technology into one form. What does an organization look like once a technology has finished arriving? I study how firms, fields, and governance regimes adapt to digital change: which structures hold, which dissolve, which emerge.
The patterns are not always easy to see. I work across qualitative fieldwork, mixed-methods designs, and computational text analysis. I teach enterprise architecture as a way of training the structural eye on digital systems.
