Since 2015, the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna) has held triple accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA) – a distinction earned by fewer than 1 % of universities worldwide.

The Department of Information Systems and Operations Management (ISOM), comprising 106 members including ten full professors with equal gender balance, studies socio-technical phenomena across data science, AI, information systems, ethics, logistics, and sustainability, integrating technical and organizational perspectives on digital transformation.

An active ERCIS member, ISOM collaborates with partners in Münster, St. Gallen, Berlin, Liechtenstein, Brisbane, and Stevens Institute of Technology on topics such as process mining, ethical BPM, and affect-oriented redesign. Since August 2025, Thomas Grisold has served as Professor of Information Systems and Applied AI.

ISOM also contributes to WU’s bachelor’s program, leading the STEOP orientation phase and the Foundations of Information Systems course, and leads two master’s programs:

• Master’s in Digital Economy: The interdisciplinary program prepares students to design digital ecosystems and contribute to responsible digital transformation.
• Master’s in Supply Chain Management: Remains among the world’s top programs, ranked 1st in Europe and 2nd globally in the 2025 QS SCM ranking.
