Petros is interested in the impacts of Information Systems (IS) on work and society. He is known for his work on IS-mediated environments — such as virtual teams, hybrid working and online communities — and the topics of leadership and creativity within this context. In his latest project, he has been looking into how GenAI influences human creativity. Petros is also interested by the wider societal impacts of IS and he has been doing research on IS use/adoption in the Global South and the context of forced migration. He has helped to generate over £8m in research income from prestigious British funders (e.g. The British Academy; Economic and Social Research Council [ESRC]), and, to date, he has published more than 80 papers in leading peer-reviewed journals, edited collections, and international conference proceedings. He has also written for the professional press in British and Spanish outlets (e.g. LSE Business Review, elPeriódico); and for popular international organisations (e.g. World Economic Forum); and he/his research has been mentioned in the popular press (e.g. The Times, Daily Mail).
He is an active member of the international IS research community and he has undertaken important leadership roles. Between 2018 and 2021, he was Chair of the IFIP Working Group 9.5 ‘Our Digital Lives’. Currently, he is an Associate Editor for the Information Systems Journal (2021–present) and the International Journal of Information Management (2023–present); an Senior Editor for the Australasian Journal of Information Systems (2018–present); and a Guest Editor of three Special Issues, in addition to several roles chairing conference tracks and being on conference programme committees. He is currently accepting submissions for a Special Issue (SI) titled "The Changing Nature of Creativity in the Era of GenAI" for Information Systems Frontiers (deadline April 30th, 2025). In the education domain, he is an External Examiner (EE) for the MSc in Digital Business at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK (2022–present); he is enthusiastic about writing and publishing teaching cases (e.g. SAGE Business Cases); and he has acted as an EE for PhD theses in the UK.
Finally, Petros has been involved in international accreditations both as an evaluator and as programme director. Since he took on the Directorship of the MSc in Digital Project Management & Consulting, the MSc has received two accreditations: (a) by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research & Innovation as part of ESCP's «Diplôme d’Etudes Avancé en Management International des Entreprises» (DEAMIE); and (b) by the Community of Madrid as an official and recognised foreign postgraduate degree (at the MSc level) delivered by ESCP Madrid Campus. Prior to his current role at ESCP, he was on the teams that led the University of Sussex Business School to EQUIS and AMBA accreditations.
