In research and teaching we focus on diverse aspects of Electronic Business which generally means the electronic support of inter-organizational business processes through information technology. 50 years ago -- at the initial stage of electronic data processing -- several companies began to reorganize and automate their inter-organizational business processes. The broad diffusion of the Internet accelerated this process and more opportunities for automating inter-organizational business processes arose. From a scientific point of view we are trying to understand how the organization of economic activities affects Electronic Business systems and vice versa. Ultimately this will enable us to better design and manage Electronic Business systems.
