Enterprise Systems and their Successful Implementation and Use

The chair's research focuses on the successful implementation and use of enterprise systems and their alignment with business goals (enterprise architectures, business/IT alignment). Within this field we specifically focus on industries such as manufacturing and commerce.

Our research on application systems follows the ideas of application lifecycle management which emphasizes a holistic approach to application development, implementation, operations and the respective management and governance issues.

We follow a multi-methodological approach by combining qualitative and quantitative research. Besides conducting empirical research we also apply design science approaches.
