Information Management

Information Management

Information technologies have become an indispensable part of everyday business life. Managers must therefore think about how the technologies can be used in a meaningful and value-creating way in the company. Questions can include:

  • How do companies use information systems to improve processes and structures?
  • How can companies use information technologies to improve products and services?
  • How do the systems used have to be (technically) designed so that they support companies and executives in their processes and decisions?

We address these and other questions in our research with the thematic focus on "Information Management".

Sample topics:

  • Information Modeling
  • Augmentation of Work
  • Automation of decisions
  • Algorithmic support
  • Business Intelligence Architectures
