Management Information Systems
Over the last decade, information systems have evolved from their traditional back office support role towards a more strategic role within an organization. Yet, there is an increasing concern that the anticipated value of the information systems investments is not being achieved such that the information systems department is often viewed as a cost centre. This concern stems from two important challenges, i.e., the challenge in managing the information systems facing the employees in the organization, and the challenge in managing the information systems facing the consumers. The group aims to address both challenges.
Within the research area of managing the information systems that directly or indirectly affect the employees’ ways of working, we apply both quantitative (e.g., survey) and qualitative (e.g., case study) research methodologies whenever appropriate to understand the employees’ responses to the information systems and how they should use it to be more efficient and effective at work. Within the research area of managing the information systems that interface the organizations to their customers and potential customers, we often begin by designing and developing the particular information systems, such as mobile application, which is followed by field experimenting them with the target customers. When the information systems of interest are already available, we collaborate with the focal organizations to assess their customers’ behaviours with the information systems towards the attainment of the organizations’ target goals. Either way, the group pursues high quality research that is methodologically rigorous, theoretically relevant to academia, and practically relevant to the industry.

Datenschutz für iPhone-«Apps
Eine Studie mit einer iPhone-Applikation zeigt:
Datenschutz ist den Internetnutzern wichtiger als perfekt auf ihre
Bedürfnisse zugeschnittene Informationen. Doch das Eine schliesst das
Andere nicht aus, wie das «mBusiness Lab» der ETH Zürich mit einem neuen
Informationssystem beweist.

The K-Village Project aims to promote economic well‐being in remote, rural areas through scientific research based on the principles of the digital and knowledge divides. We advocate that humans can, through their deployment and usage of IT, generate, acquire, disseminate, and utilize the know‐how so as to achieve marked improvement in economic outcomes. In this regard we mainly aim to assist people (in rural, remote areas) in closing the knowledge gap, thereby raising their economic well‐being, so as to retain the working age population in their societies, which ultimately address the migration issue.
