Companies are alarmed by the buzzword “digitalization” and don’t know specifically what to do. They are hearing about the threat of new business models, reading about the enormous sums paid for startups which haven’t yet made a single dollar of profit and watching their competitors join in the chorus of scaremongers who say their sector is making the big change to Industry 4.0 or is about to be replaced by e-business. And here’s the problem: All of this could, or will be, true—the massive attack on the status quo has already started! The following 11 theses on digitalization explicitly describe how a company should actually respond to the new competitive environment in order to succeed in the market.

• Beyond Digital Transformation: What comes next? Digital transformation is a special management approach. It requires extensive investment, a suitable structure and, not least, the attention of top management. Within the digital transformation, companies continuously deal with new digital technologies that represent important opportunities or critical threats and, in the process, develop a systematic use of these digital technologies. However, it will not work to put a company permanently in the "special state" of digital transformation. What is required in this case is rather a "digitally defined organization" geared to constant challenges posed by digital technologies. What such a "digitally defined organization" looks like can only be roughly identified today. Companies at this stage of digital transformation need established strategic and operational mechanisms to continue to successfully drive and manage digital innovations (digital product and service innovations, digital process innovations and digital business model innovations). To investigate these mechanisms and their approaches, this future-oriented research field offers great potentials. Theses in this research field therefore offer diverse opportunities. One research focus in this research field is, for example, the investigation of digital capabilities and competencies on company and individual level. What (new) digital capabilities and competencies are needed for the digital transformation and beyond? How are these built up? Where are the capabilities and competencies located in a company? And how are capabilities, competencies, knowledge and skills connected? Literature reviews as well as empirical research methods are suitable for dealing with the topic, cooperations with companies are possible. If you are interested in this topic, please contact Mathias Bohrer via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Work in English is preferred.
• Digital transformation in pluralistic ecosystems The digital enterprise is more connected than ever before. Digital technologies that drive interconnectedness require a holistic and systemic view of the enterprise, its business models, and relationships with a variety of actors in digital ecosystems. This inter-organizational nature of digital business models also impacts the digital transformation of enterprises. Interdependencies of actors as well as their logics, perceptions and fairness logics, which have a major influence on the success of cooperation with partners and stakeholders, come into the focus of digital transformation management. How must the governance of digital transformation change to take account of the influence of digital ecosystems? What role do pluralistic assumptions play in the context of digital business models? How can stable compromises be established that are perceived as fair? What influence do multiple logics have on digital business models and ecosystems? If you are interested in this topic, please contact Simon Engert via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Theses in English are preferred.
• Management of Digital Innovation in Companies The diffusion of digital technologies in society poses new requirements for established companies to develop innovations. Digital innovation is "the creation of market offerings, business processes, or models that result from the use of digital technology" (Nambisan et al. 2017, p. 224). Organizations engaged in digital innovation are undergoing digital transformation - a phenomenon that affects all areas of organizational functioning and forces companies to redefine their structures, processes, capabilities, and overall value creation. A popular approach for established companies is to set up dedicated structures to centralize digital innovation efforts in the form of digital innovation units (DIUs). DIUs are a new phenomenon that has only recently begun to stimulate scientific discussion. The aim is to explore DIUs and digital innovation activities in organizations in a differentiated way, as well as implications that arise from the implementation and use of digital innovations at the organizational and employee level (post-adoption). Literature reviews, as well as empirical research methods are suitable to work on the topic, cooperations with companies are possible. Exemplary research questions are: How does the digital innovation process work in established companies (or "digital-born" companies)? What are the reasons why digital innovation processes in organizations are discontinued? If you are interested in this topic, please contact Laura Lohoff via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Theses in English are preferred. Disclaimer: Supervision is only possible up to and including September 2024.
• Digital transformation of Mittelstand firms The emergence of digital technologies changes customers’ expectations and organizations’ competitive landscape, which demands them to transform digitally. Among other things, this requires organizations to alter their value-creation processes, organizational structures, and culture. While research on the digital transformation of corporations is versatile, knowledge of Mittelstand firms’ digital transformation is scarce. Mittelstand firms, as the backbone of many economic areas, are currently facing challenges when managing digital transformation. Therefore, Mittelstand firms require new management approaches that consider their unique characteristics. Investigating the underlying mechanisms when managing Mittelstand firms’ digital transformation offers great potential for this research field. The focus of the study is on the management of digital transformation in Mittelstand firms. For this purpose, various topics of digital transformation management can be investigated, such as the change in value creation through digital innovation (e.g., business model innovation) or the necessary prerequisites (e.g., organizational structures) to enable these changes, up to frameworks for the management of digital transformation (e.g., a digital transformation strategy for Mittelstand firms). If you are interested in this topic, please contact Linus Lischke via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Theses in English are preferred.
• Governance of the digital transformation The digital transformation poses enormous challenges for organizations in almost all industries. Companies are confronted with the associated effects on their external and internal environment and must fundamentally rethink their previous value creation logic. Against this backdrop, organizations must make decisions about how to distribute the responsibilities for managing the digital transformation. Due to the strategic nature of the tasks, top management assumes a leading position in this process. To cope with the requirements induced by digitization, the establishment of a new type of top management position is increasingly observed in practice: the Chief Digital Officer. In other contexts, however, the Chief Information Officer also takes the lead in digital transformation. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer is involved by setting the vision. In summary, we see various top management positions entrusted with digital transformation tasks, although the exact configuration and allocation are still unclear. Work in this research area offers diverse possibilities (investigation of a specific position; interplay of different positions; consideration of the governance of digital transformation detached from positions). If you are interested in this topic, please contact Christian Sciuk via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Work in English is preferred.
• Governing digital ecosystems The increasing interconnectedness of devices, individuals and companies through digital technologies opens up new opportunities for the collaborative creation of value in digital ecosystems. These ecosystems are characterised by complex relationships, strong interdependencies and turbulent dynamics. As a result, new challenges in terms of partner management are emerging within these ecosystems. This is especially the case for data ecosystems, which require a high degree of trust between the involved partners and which are organised in decentralised structures. Managing the diverse partners and their individual interests, therefore, requires innovative approaches. This gives rise to many different questions that can be investigated in the context of a thesis: How can the architecture of an ecosystem be designed to successfully include the often extremely diverse partners? How can collaborative governance mechanisms look like? How can comprehensive strategies for the entire ecosystem be developed, and what are central components of these overarching strategies? How does the ecosystem influence the behaviour of individual participants? If you are interested in this topic area, please contact Pauline Liebert via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Theses in English are preferred.

• Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Media Industry The media industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the exponential increase in digital technologies and data. A new driver of this change is the application of (generative) artificial intelligence (AI). AI technologies, including machine learning and deep neural networks, offer new opportunities for the media industry, from personalized content to automated journalism and advanced user behavior analytics. While AI is important in many industries, the media industry offers a particularly rich and complex landscape for the research and application of AI due to its inherent creativity and consumer-facing nature. Consequently, there is an urgent need to analyze the diverse fields of application of AI in the media landscape in order to identify opportunities and challenges:
• How is AI used in different contexts of media production, distribution and monetization?
• What social impacts arise from the use of AI in the media, especially in relation to opinion formation and social discourse?
• How does AI change the role and self-image of media professionals?
• What new business models are emerging through the use of AI and how does this impact competition and gatekeeping in the media landscape?

The research field offers a wealth of opportunities for theses. These could include conceptual considerations on the role of AI in the media industry as well as empirical studies on current applications and their effects as well as literature reviews.

• Deepfakes in the context of digital disinformation and misinformation

The current media landscape is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, driven by the exponential development of digital technologies and the enormous amount of data available. In this era of digital revolution, the application of (generative) AI takes center stage. AI technologies such as machine learning and deep neural networks have radically reshaped the media industry, offering possibilities that were unthinkable just a short time ago. In this context, deepfakes - artificially generated media content - are becoming increasingly important and present both challenges and opportunities.

As synthetic media content, deepfakes have the potential not only to shake our understanding of reality and authenticity, but also to influence the credibility of media organizations and the dissemination of information. They are therefore a reflection of current times and represent one of the most recent and important developments in media technology. As an integral part of digital misinformation and disinformation, deepfakes raise urgent questions and require in-depth analysis.

In the wake of these developments, there is an acute need to explore and understand the multiple aspects of deepfakes in the context of digital disinformation and misinformation. Accordingly, a thesis could examine various aspects of the topic:

A) Technological focus

• Deepfake creation: The thesis could focus on the techniques and methods used to create deepfakes, including the use of generative neural networks and their further development.
• Deepfake detection and mitigation: Investigate the opportunities and challenges in detecting and mitigating deepfakes to reduce their proliferation.

B) Stakeholder perspectives

• End-user/consumer perspective: Analyze how end-users perceive deepfakes and the impact of these perceptions on trust in media organizations and their content.
• Organizational perspective (especially media organizations): Conduct case studies to examine how media organizations deal with deepfakes in practice and develop strategies to address this challenge.
• Deepfake generators : Investigate the motives behind the creators of deepfakes and analyze different dimensions of these activities.
• Targeted individuals: Analyze the impact of deepfakes on those who fall victim to fake content and examine potential legal, societal as well as business consequences

Potential questions:

• How are deepfakes used in different areas of media production, distribution, and monetization?
• What are the social implications of the use of deepfakes in the media, particularly in terms of opinion-forming and social discourse? And how do these affect the value creation of media companies?
• To what extent do deepfakes change the role and self-image of media professionals?
• Which new business models are emerging through the use of deepfakes and how is this emergence influencing competition in the media landscape?

• Digital services and data usage Is personalized advertising an added value for the user? What happens to data about driving behavior (smart car) or health data (smart watches)? Personal data about users is constantly being collected via smart speakers, streaming services, social media and many other services and products. In this context, the underlying technologies such as IoT or AI require unlimited access to data in order to function. At the same time, the provider benefits from the data through service innovations. In addition, some digital business models (including advertising-based ones) are no longer profitable without data or may no longer be free for the user. The provider is in a favorable position to own the collected user data (information potential) and to profit from it (value potential), which can lead to (data protection) concerns on the part of the user, and a tension arises between use and protection of the data. Work in this research area offers diverse topics and issues: including the informational or value potential of data, the framing of the tension, the position/ scope of action of users and providers in data use, incentives for data protection, approaches to resolving the tension. Literature reviews, as well as empirical research methods (qualitative and quantitative) are possible. If you are interested in this topic, please contact Ronja Schwinghammer via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Papers in English are preferred.
• Business models in data-driven ecosystems With the ongoing digital transformation, companies are increasingly interconnected within ecosystems where they collaborate to generate mutual value. Additionally, the rising datafication enables the realization of new data-driven business models. Data are increasingly regarded as a strategic resource, gaining significance for companies ("data are the new oil"). Harnessing data impacts value creation, value proposition, and value realization within ecosystems, thereby influencing the competitive advantage of companies. In practice, decentralized ecosystems are emerging as alternatives to private platforms. While a focal company controls private digital platforms, decentralized ecosystems aim to ensure data sovereignty for participants, fostering a trustworthy collaboration. This new setting impacts the business models pursued by the ecosystem participants. From that, questions arise such as: How can ecosystem participants co-create value through this decentralized infrastructure by leveraging data? What factors influence value creation in decentralized data ecosystems? How can value be fairly distributed within the ecosystem? Can decentralized ecosystems contribute to achieving societal goals, such as sustainability objectives? What data-driven products and services emerge in decentralized ecosystems? If you are interested in this topic, please contact Jana Ammann via the contact form (link at the top of this page). Submissions in English are preferred.
• AI at Work: Exploring the Factors Behind Employee Data Sharing The digital transformation of workplaces and the ubiquitous presence of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we work. In this era of data-driven decision-making and AI-enhanced processes, the sharing of information and data within organizations has become a critical component of success. However, this phenomenon raises a pivotal research question: What motivates employees to willingly share their data in digital workplaces dominated by AI? The decision to share data in digital workplace environment is not a trivial one and is influenced by a complex interplay of various factors, including trust, privacy concerns, organizational culture, AI integration, and the perceived benefits and risks associated with data sharing. This thesis is motivated by the need to understand the intricacies of this behavior, which is central to the functioning of organizations in the digital age. By doing so, it aims to provide organizations and scholars with valuable insights into how they can harness the full potential of data in AI-driven workplaces while addressing the concerns and motivations of their workforce. In terms of methodology, you will uncover the determinants that drive or inhibit employees' data sharing behavior. Literature reviews and empirical research methods are suitable for dealing with the topic, cooperation with companies is possible.

• Algorithmic Management Outside the Gig Economy (Master Thesis) Increasingly algorithms take over managerial functions, i.e. they coordinate and delegate work to humans. Research approaches this phenomenon under the umbrella term "algorithmic management". The existing body of work on algorithmic management focuses on the gig/ platform economy where data and technological infrastructure for algorithms to operate is a given. For example, Uber drivers are managed by an algorithm that pre-selects drivers and determines the route they should follow. However, it is not clear how algorithmic management takes shape in industries outside of the gig/platform economy. In this master thesis, you should address this research gap and empirically investigate under what circumstances and how established organizations use algorithmic management. If you are interested in this topic, please use the contact form (link on top of the page) to get in touch with Dr. Bastian Wurm.
• A Review on Algorithmic Management (Bachelor or Master Thesis) There is an increasing number of articles that discusses different aspects of algorithmic management, i.e. when algorithms coordinate and assign work to humans. While research on this topic is rapidly growing, an overview over this research area is currently missing. In this thesis, you should review and integrate the literature on algorithmic management by means of a structured literature review. Depending on the scope and focus of the review this topic can be addressed in a bachelor or master thesis. If you are interested in this topic, please use the contact form (link on top of the page) to get in touch with Dr. Bastian Wurm.
• A Review on Failure in Information Systems (Master Thesis) “Fail fast, fail often”. This statement has become a mantra in the business world to highlight that individuals and organizations can learn tremendously even (or especially?) when they encounter failure. Despite the valuable learnings associated with failure, research on failure in information systems is scarce. While there are some notable exceptions, we miss a coherent overview over how failure in information systems is treated and what we can learn from it. In this thesis, you address this gap by conducting a literature review on failure in information systems. If you are interested in this topic, please use the contact form (link on top of the page) to get in touch with Dr. Bastian Wurm.
• Predictive Process Mining and its Application in Practice (Master Thesis) Process mining is concerned with the analysis of business processes. One specific application domain of process mining is predictive process mining (also called predictive process monitoring) that allows organizations to predict the outcome of a certain process or its remaining execution time. There are many studies on predictive process mining that focus on technical aspects. That is, how to make algorithms more computationally efficient or how to increase prediction accuracy. However, how organizations use predictive process mentoring and how this may impact the way they work has not yet received systematic attention. In this thesis, you will explore the application of predictive process monitoring in practice. If you are interested in this topic, please use the contact form (link on top of the page) to get in touch with Dr. Bastian Wurm.
• Digital Transformation Strategies (Master Thesis) Digital Transformation Strategies specify how organizations approach their digital transformation endeavors. While previous research has considered the different components that are important when developing such strategies, the literature does not explain how and why digital transformation strategies change over time. In this thesis, you should conduct a multiple case study to address this gap. Specifically, based on interviews with key stakeholders, you should develop a longitudinal perspective on the digital transformation strategy formation and enactment process. If you are interested in this topic, please use the contact form (link on top of the page) to get in touch with Dr. Bastian Wurm.

This research examines the links between customer perceived expectations, customer perceived experience, and customer satisfaction in the United Arab Emirates' digital solution in the telecommunications industry. The research takes a positivist philosophical perspective and uses a quantitative data analysis strategy to sample 130 clients who utilize the digital solution of the telecommunications sector in the United Arab Emirates. Exploratory component analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to evaluate and validate the validity of the suggested scales and the research model's linkages. The research discovered a strong correlation between customer expectation and customer experience and the degree of satisfaction of individuals in the United Arab Emirates due to their use of or engagement with digital solutions of the telecommunications sector, independent of generational differences. The study's findings are entirely consistent with the Expectancy-Disconfirmation and Evaluation Congruity Theories.

This paper looks at the UAE's Vision 2021 as a study case of National Agendas in the Gulf. It argues that far from being a mere plan for economic diversification, Vision 2021 is also a social engineering and nation-building project. It also purports that the Vision reflects implicit biases among the ruling Emirati elite, including status-seeking, greed and hyper-normativity.

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) grew from and is guided by smart manufacturing. The fourth industrial revolution’s I4.0 would induce radical changes and transformations in the everyday operations of businesses and people’s life. Due to these major changes impacting all sectors and industries worldwide, the sustainability of the new future systems and operations is pertinent. The current research literature points out that the social (human factor) aspect is relatively underrepresented in the I4.0 sustainability-related studies. The few studies related to the social aspect usually investigate the so-called ‘techno-centric’ approach to the subject. This study aimed to investigate the I4.0 construction project management (PM) profession from the socially sustainable ‘worker-centric’ approach. Five key assets of the new I4.0 project managers role, specifically in the construction industry, were explored to achieve this goal. This was conducted through a survey questionnaire aimed at 100 constructio...

More leptospirosis cases occur after floods, study shows

by K. W. Wesselink, University of Twente

A recent study, published by researchers at the Faculty of ITC in the International Journal of Health Geographics , has shown that flooding leads to increased leptospirosis cases.

First author, John Ifejube is a recent graduate of the master's program in Spatial Engineering. This publication is a direct result of his thesis on GeoHealth.

Flooding is a climate-related disaster that impacts not only the environment but also the well-being of people. Leptospirosis is a blood infection caused by the bacteria Leptospira. People become infected through interaction with contaminated water or urine.

Infected humans can get headaches, muscle pains, and fevers, but severe forms can lead to kidney failure. More and more studies link the spread of leptospirosis with floods, but it has not been extensively studied, until now.

Master's thesis

For his master's thesis, Ifejube conducted a study on the association between the incidence of leptospirosis and the occurrence of multiple floods in Kerala, India. He found that flooding leads to an increase in leptospirosis cases. His study reveals that flood duration is the most important characteristic of floods that can be used to predict the number of infections. According to his research, severe floods lead to more leptospirosis cases than moderate floods.

He compared leptospirosis cases across three different years in time and space. Specifically, he compared the number of cases in 2018 and 2019, which were years with heavy and moderate flooding respectively, to the number of cases in 2017, a year that did not experience any floods.

For each flood year, he looked at the reported cases three months before, during and three months after the flood. To assess the severity of floods, he determined the population exposed to each flood event using high-resolution satellite images. Finally, he used spatial regression to examine the relationship between post-flood cases and flood extents.
