Dariusz Jemielniak
I am a (full) professor of management. I head the Center for Research on Organizations and Workplaces (here http://crow.kozminski.edu.pl is its homepage) at Kozminski University, and I co-founded NeRDS (New Research on Digital Societies, http://nerds.kozminski.edu.pl) group.
My interests include open collaboration communities, critical management studies, narrativity, storytelling, organizational archetypes, occupational identities, all studied by interpretive and qualitative methods.
Most of my research so far has been evolving around knowledge-intensive workplace, open collaboration, F/LOSS, organizations and professional culture, with particular focus on software development.
Currently, I am working on two projects: one is on lawyers professional identity (I study LLM students in American and European schools), the other is on trust and authority enactment in open-source projects on the example of Wikipedia.
I have some professional experience with managing software project, since I am the founder of a limited liability company, running, among others, the biggest and the most popular Polish online dictionary http://www.ling.pl as well as several other portals (including http://www.angielski.edu.pl or http://www.anglisci.pl or http://www.angool.com - all related to language education for Poles).
I have also been involved as an activist in the Wikimedia movement, and I currently serve on the Funds Dissemination Committee of Wikimedia Foundation.
2000-2004 I was a Ph.D. candidate in management at Kozminski University. 2004-2005 I spent as a Fulbright scholar at Cornell University. 2005-2009 I was an assistant professor of management back at Kozminski University, with an annual break to go for a semester as a visiting scholar to Harvard University (2007) and University of California, Berkeley (2008). In 2009 I defended my habilitation and became an associate professor of management. The academic year 2011-2012 I'm spending at Harvard, studying lawyers and writing up a book on Wikipedia.
I strongly believe that academic work should be interesting and fun, and I serve as the Polish Desk Chief for the Annals of Improbable Research magazine - http://improbable.com/ - more widely known as Ig Nobel Prize granting institution.

Papers by Dariusz Jemielniak
Jemielniak, Dariusz (2019) Socjologia internetu, Warszawa: Wydawnictwo Naukowe Scholar
In Common Knowledge?, Dariusz Jemielniak draws on his academic expertise and years of active participation within the Wikipedia community to take readers inside the site, illuminating how it functions and deconstructing its distinctive organization. Against a backdrop of misconceptions about its governance, authenticity, and accessibility, Jemielniak delivers the first ethnography of Wikipedia, revealing that it is not entirely at the mercy of the public: instead, it balances open access and power with a unique bureaucracy that takes a page from traditional organizational forms. Along the way, Jemielniak incorporates fascinating cases that highlight the tug of war among the participants as they forge ahead in this pioneering environment.
The book is a cross-cultural, comparative study of American and European high-tech workplaces that addresses the issues currently of interest to both Academia and to practice and provides a rare international comparison of organizations from both sides of the Atlantic. Its conclusions shed new light on the problems typical for software projects. The book specifically focuses on, and gives voice to, the perspectives of knowledge workers rather than managers and will thus be useful to not only scholars and human resource managers from software companies, but also to high-tech professionals.
Scholars and professionals in organization studies, management, HRM, innovation and knowledge management will find this book engaging and enlightening.
Od połowy lat 90. XX wieku metoda Action Research przeżywa prawdziwy boom w zachodniej praktyce konsultingu dzięki dostrzeżeniu wielu możliwości jej wykorzystania, szczególnie przy rozwiązywaniu problemów organizacyjnych i branżowych. Pomimo to metoda ta ma nadal relatywnie małe zastosowanie w polskiej praktyce, a badania Action Research w zarządzaniu są rzadko spotykane. Wynika to z ich długotrwałego i ryzykownego procesu aplikacji, przy jednoczesnym coraz większym oczekiwaniu przez organizacje szybkich efektów. Mimo uznania jej użyteczności przy doradztwie strategicznym nie jest to metoda powszechnie wykorzystywana przez wielkie korporacje konsultingowe, które przede wszystkim stosują standardowe narzędzia wymagające znacznie mniejszego zaangażowania i dostosowywania.
Action Research pozostaje raczej domeną firm małych, niezależnych bądź afiliowanych przy uniwersytetach. Dlatego niniejsza książka, wskazująca praktyczne zastosowanie tej metody wraz z efektami, przede wszystkim natury niematerialnej, rozwija teorię, a zarazem jest praktyczna.
