Activities


Overview

The research field of ‘digital business’ brings together key topics in digital transformation: from process design and agility in the digital age to the digital networking of value chains and innovative, cross-organisational business models.

Together, we support companies in strategically exploiting the potential of digitalisation – in leadership, process management, logistics and digital business models. With sound methods, practical research and interdisciplinary expertise, we are shaping the digital future of the economy.

Thematic focus


Research focus

The field of digital business research comprises four main areas of research.

Business Process & Project Management develops practical methods and approaches for the analysis, design, automation and optimisation of business processes and project structures. The focus is on the automation and orchestration of complex business processes, the design of AI-based workflows and the successful implementation of demanding agile organisational projects.

Digital Business Transformation enables companies to develop digital leadership skills and use technologies in a targeted manner to add value. Practical research and innovative training programmes contribute to shaping sustainable digital transformation. A particular focus is on the digitalisation of the consulting industry.

Digital Economy & Business Agility is working on an overall picture of management understanding in the digital age that integrates the effects of digitalisation and AI into business objectives and economic laws. On this basis, the research focus develops concepts that make the future environment visible for a company, highlight the future power structures of the relevant environment, and support strategic considerations.

Supply Chain & Value Networks explores new ways of designing global, decentralised value networks in the context of digitalisation, sustainability and economic disruption. The focus is on the targeted use of future technologies and the integration of digital business models, platform economies and e-commerce systems.
