The Digital Business Innovation section conducts research on digital innovation in business and work. Our research examines how organizations design, implement, and govern digital technologies to create business and societal value.

The section focuses on four core research themes:

• Future of work & digital transformation
• Platforms, ecosystems, and digital sourcing
• Digital innovation management
• Human–AI collaboration

Our research is grounded in a sociotechnical perspective that examines the interplay between technologies, people, processes, and organizations. Research from the section appears in leading journals in Information Systems (e.g., Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, European Journal of Information Systems) as well as in journals of adjacent disciplines, including organization studies, management, marketing, and software engineering.

We pursue methodologically pluralist research, combining approaches such as case studies, action design research, experiments, survey research, and secondary data analysis. Much of our research is conducted in collaboration with industry and public sector organizations, allowing us to study digital innovation and transformation as they unfold in practice.
