Research
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.
