Welcome to the Chair of Business Information Systems & Social Computing 

In our research and teaching program, we study innovate technologies and digital social actions among users in the context of social media and digital cooperation. We focus on business-relevant contexts such as digital customer behaviour, employee networking, knowledge transfer among experts or new forms of digital interaction such as AR or VR in organizations.

Best Regards, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Trier

Prof. Trier studies phenomena of digital communication as well as social influence effects in online social media. Examples for main research interests include implementation approaches of enterprise social media, understanding online participation, framing of digital discourses (e.g. from a management perspective), linking experts via online media, dissemination processes and bottom-up community emergence in knowledge transfer contexts.  Prof. Trier's research uses a mixed-method approach that combines qualitative, quantitative and network-analytical research methods. A special methodological focus is on the development of an event-driven method for dynamic network analysis (Software www.commetrix.net). This approach enables a better understanding of new structures and dynamic processes of networking among actors.
