Prof. Dr. Frederik Ahlemann - Universität Duisburg-Essen

The Chair of Information Systems and Strategic IT Management conducts research on the strategic IT/IS management domain. Currently, our focus is on:

Project Management (PM) and Project Portfolio Management (PPM)
Benefits Management and Value of IT
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM)
IT Vendor Management (ITVM)
IT Strategy and Strategic IT Benchmarking (SITBM)
IT Governance (ITG)
In our research, we approach these domains from two directions: Following the design science paradigm, we develop and evaluate artifacts (e.g., process models, methods, tools) for strategic IT/IS management. In parallel, we conduct behavioral research to gain an understanding of the conditions under which these (and other) artifacts are accepted, adopted, and proven successful. We ensure that our research results have a practical and sustainable benefit by cooperating with leading enterprises and institutions.
