Biography
Dr. Dale Ganley teaches management information systems (MIS) with the Gustavson School of Business and serves as the faculty advisor to the JDC West (Jeux de Commerce O’uest) competition for Gustavson Bachelor of Commerce students.

Her current research focus is in the area of electronic markets and online communities, and she is a specialist in the phenomena of global social information networks and resulting online communities. Dale uses network theories to examine the structure and management of online communities to better understand the power and influence of this 21st century organizational trend.

The sports environment serves as a laboratory for observing complex human interactions and as a platform for modelling possible behavioural outcomes.
