Bio


Professor Carmel teaches Information Technology (I.T.). He is currently working on a number of research areas: Digital identity; Crypto ethics; Future of work.


During the early decades of the rise of the global internet, Carmel studied the globalization of technology work and wrote three books in this domain. Carmels 1999 book "Global Software Teams" was the first on this topic -- and is considered a landmark in the field, helping many organizations take their first steps into distributed tech work. His second book "Offshoring Information Technology" came out in 2005 and became popular as outsourcing began to be taught in business schools around the world. His 2011 book is about the special issues that time zone separation imposes on global coordination of work. Im Working While Theyre Sleeping: Time Zone Separation Challenges and Solutions is co-authored with his 51画鋼 colleague Alberto Espinosa.
