Information Systems Science
Information Systems Science research focuses on the following fields of study:
- ICT in service design and management
- Business models for E-, M- and multi-channel business
- ERP and IS implementation
- Consumer use of ICT
- Open Data and Open Source business models
ISS at Aalto University School of Economics has a strong focus on empirical studies and active cooperation with companies. Besides theoretical contribution, ISS studies often emphasize practical relevance. Our research deals with adoption, use and impacts of ICT on consumers, companies, and society at large.
We use multi-disciplinary approaches and apply theories from a number of reference disciplines, including management, organization sciences, marketing, and economics. Wide range of both qualitative and quantitative methods are used and often triangulated. Research teams and projects are encouraged. Most projects have both national and international partners, and results of our research are targeted at top tier academic journals.
The list of doctoral dissertations in the field of Information Systems Science can be found from the library web site.
Some of the current projects:
ManETEI brings together leading European Business Schools, research institutes and a diverse group of industrial partners from different industries, sectors, technologies and countries to create a rigorous collaborative research agenda centered on the multifaceted phenomenon of managing emergent technologies for maximum economic and social impact.
The ASF OSIO "Open Service Innovation Observatory" thematic group is a network of researchers from several Aalto schools (Economics, Science, Art and Design). Together they explore different aspects of open source software, open data, open standards and open access. Current areas of interest include: setting the ground for academic research on open data; open data business models; similarities between open data and open source research; open data licensing schemes.
