For 30 years, the Institute of Information Management and Digital Business at the University of St. Gallen (IWI-HSG) has been dedicated to applied and design-oriented research at the intersection between business and IT. Prof. Ivo Blohm, Prof. Reinhard Jung, Prof. Jan Marco Leimeister, and Prof. Robert Winter are heading four research groups covering research topics from data management and analytics, design thinking, digital service innovation, to privacy and trust. We are excited to share that Prof. Ingrid Bauer-Hänsel and Prof. Andreas Hein have joined the HSG as Assistant Professors. In addition, three Assistant Professors have accepted calls to other universities, reflecting our academic visibility and impact.
The institute pursues a mixed funding approach from both public and private sources. Privately funded research at IWI is usually organized in the form of research consortia (“competence centers”). These centers and projects fall under the responsibilities of different chaired professors.
