Professor Alexander Richter researches the "digital transformation in organisations", in particular the interplay of individual practices, organisational context and information technology. His studies have been published in leading journals (including BISE, EJIS, IJIM, IJOPM, IJPR, I&O, ISJ), awarded with several best paper awards, covered by many major news outlets and cited more than 7000 times. Alex believes in the positive impact of engaged scholarship. Over the course of his career, he was involved in more than 30 projects aiming to design digital workplaces (supported by either the European Union, national governments or companies like Airbus, Allianz, Bayer, BMW and Bosch). He is a co-editor at ‘i-com journal of interactive media’, a department editor at ‘Business & Information Systems Engineering’, and a member of several further journal editorial boards. He has been a co-chair of the ECIS Social Media track for 10 consecutive years (2015-2024) and has chaired over 25 similar tracks at other conferences like ICIS, PACIS, ACIS, HICSS and WI.
