Research Areas

Design science research

DSR is the dominant research approach at IWI-HSG. In addition to our involvement in the community (editorial contributions to scientific journals and conferences), we contribute to advancing research methods and techniques, for example, in terms of validity, modularization, or communication excellence.

Data management and analytics in large enterprises

Complex business processes have led to highly complex data management and analytics systems in large companies. Our research aims to effectively manage and enhance these systems so that companies can flexibly respond to future challenges. Our research topics include data management, quality, platforms, regulation, technology stacks, and applied data science.

Digital platforms

Digital platforms are in tension between maintaining control and fostering generativity/emergence. While pure control hampers adaptability, pure emergence comes with the cost of experimentation without reaping associated benefits. Our research transcends such an either-or approach to establish a balance between control and emergence in bilateral digital platforms.

Architectural coordination and complexity management

Virtually all major organizations today must contend with the significant complexity of their information systems. Architectural coordination provides a holistic perspective on this multitude of information systems within an organization, aiming to coordinate all small and large change activities to maintain both consistency and operational stability on one hand, and to preserve resources for flexibility and innovation on the other.
