About
Yangting Li is an LSE Fellow in the Information Systems and Innovation Research Group, Department of Management.
Her research examines how digital and AI-enabled transformation becomes consequential across organisational, sectoral, and societal contexts. She develops context-sensitive and temporally aware theories of digital transformation, focusing on how emerging technologies reshape organisations, work, media systems, and collective action.
Her current research connects digital transformation, process and temporal theorisation, and methodological innovation for qualitative inquiry. Across these areas, she studies how emerging technologies are mobilised in practice, how transformation gathers momentum over time, and how qualitative scholars can build richer theories of complex digital phenomena using computational methodology.
Yangting’s work has been published in Information Systems Research and the International Journal of Information Management, with related work conditionally accepted by MIS Quarterly. Before joining LSE, she completed her PhD in Business Information Systems at the University of Sydney Business School and taught information systems and digital innovation courses at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales Business School.
Yangting is a member of the Information Systems and Innovation Faculty Research Group.
