Ard Huizing is chair of the Information Management Section at the University of Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics and Business Studies, Amsterdam Business School, and also associate professor in this section. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Amsterdam, co-authored or edited a number of books, contributed to other books with chapters, and published in many refereed journals. 

His research is focused on the organization and design of information and learning processes in organizational and broader contexts. How can the learning capabilities of individuals, organizations, networks, communities, and societies be supported and, if possible, enhanced? This research question combines three fields of inquiry: 

1. Information management, in particular images of information, knowledge, and learning in relationship with social and cultural processes and immaterial values such as commitment, loyalty, and identity.
2. Organization theory, in particular that part of organization theory that is concerned with the intricate relationships between knowledge, learning and organizing.
3. Social theory, in particular practice-based approaches to organizing. 

Learning is seen as a constitutive and contextual process in which the production and reproduction of knowledge mutually interact with broader social and cultural processes. 

Furthermore, Ard teaches in regular bachelor and master programs in Business Studies as well as Information Sciences (a joint education program of the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies, and the Faculty of Science), and in postgraduate (executive) programs. Moreover, he is a member of the management team of Executive Master in Information Management at the University of Amsterdam.
