Research focus

Research activities to date have focused on several interconnected areas in information systems and management, based on two interpretations of the field of information systems. The first line of research deals with questions related to the management of information and IT in organizations. This includes most importantly the topics of digital transformation and IT strategy, IT business value, governance and organizational adoption, with a focus on effort and benefit estimation for information systems. Relevant contexts include ERP system implementation and maintenance, business analytics, and social media. The second major line of research interprets the field of information systems as encompassing the management of companies working in the area of software, or more generally information goods in the network economy. Research was done on topics like software ecosystems, start-ups or app markets. As an overlapping area, the management of innovation and technology within both areas was covered, especially focusing on open and user innovation, as well as crowdsourcing and the role of communities and platforms in innovation management, as well as diffusion of innovations and individual adoption. Open source software and the associated development model served as a context for much of this work, with empirical research in this area mostly based on mining the associated software repositories, and using the retrieved information for effort estimation, efficiency comparisons using data envelopment analysis, or software evolution studies.
