Institute of Information Systems and Management
Prof. Dr. Andreas Geyer-Schulz | Prof. Dr. Christof Weinhardt

The Institute of Information Systems and Management was founded in 2003 and combines the Schroff chair for Information Services and Electronic Markets EM (Prof. Dr. Andreas Geyer-Schulz) and the chair for Information & Engineering IM (Prof. Dr. Christof Weinhardt).

The research group EM concentrates on the design, analysis and implementation of innovative information and market services from a customer relationship perspective. The emphasis is on the scalability of the systems and algorithms, on the analysis of the dynamics of such services, and on the usability and acceptance by customer. Application areas are social networks and organizations, electronic markets, and recommender services. Strong ties to companies as well as to industrial and educational research groups provide the solid foundation for best results and sustainable solutions of research group EM.

The research group IM focuses on market engineering and the design of services and incentives in distributed systems. A key factor for our success is the structured, systematic and theoretically founded approach towards the analysis, design, quality assurance and continuous development of markets and incentive schemes. Consequently, our research projects develop their full interdisciplinarity together with partners from industry and science.
