Christian Matt investigates how digital technologies – especially AI – reshape organizations, industries, and society at large. His research is driven by a central question: How can we harness the potential of digital transformation and AI while ensuring responsible, human-centered design?

To answer this, he takes an interdisciplinary approach – combining insights from information systems, management and other disciplines – and works closely with partners from sectors such as e-commerce, healthcare and public services. His studies explore the real-world impact of AI-based services and digital strategies on key stakeholders, from customers, patients and professionals to regulators and executives.

His work is published in leading academic and practice-oriented journals, including MIS Quarterly, Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of Information Technology, and MIS Quarterly Executive. He also serves as Senior Editor for Electronic Markets and Internet Research. Stanford University’s 2025 global ranking recognizes him among the world’s Top 2% most impactful scientists.
