The Institute for Business Informatics - Information Engineering investigates the application of information technology in organizations with the aim of describing, explaining, forecasting and shaping its structure and behaviour as well as the associated management tasks on an individual and organizational level.
Our focus lies on the management of IS/IT-based innovations and their benefits over their entire life cycle. This includes questions on strategy development and strategic planning, on the generation and evaluation of transformative innovations, on their introduction and acceptance in organizations and by individuals, as well as on their use and ongoing benefit optimization. In this context, the Institute deals with the management of such innovations in companies of the digital economy including software companies, in companies in other sectors and in public administration. The research is primarily based on behavioural, design-oriented and neuroscientific theories and methods. The following is an excerpt of important research topics
