George Wyner is an Associate Professor of the Practice of Business Analytics at the Carroll School of Management. Professor Wyner does research on the analysis and design of organizational processes and the information systems that support them, and has published articles on these topics in Management Science, MIS Quarterly, Information Systems, and other journals.
