Digital Ecosystems

In the research field “Digital Ecosystems”, we explore organizational and technical methods of how companies can build service-oriented ecosystems and use them for their needs and their customers. The focus is on use cases for cross-company access to data, data platforms, and digital services, e.g. in the field of smart cities, municipal management, or industrial maintenance. For our research, we also use approaches from organizational research and psychological incentive research to optimize the design of service-oriented ecosystems and evaluate their implementation.
