Description
Research of NITIM is positioned at the interface of management, specifically entrepreneurship, innovation and technology management, computer science and information systems. Research focuses on studies of dynamic organizational and societal phenomena, such as innovation and change, from a network perspective. NITIM research is scientifically rigorous and practically relevant. Engaged scholarship as preferred methodological orientation builds on the cooperation of industrial and academic partners. The now open position is supported by Europe´s Marie Curie Program and will form a portfolio of related research projects from multiple disciplinary backgrounds on the phenomenon of “Crisis Management Networks”. Crisis Management Networks are formed to respond to crisis situation. They emerge and are reconfigured rapidly after a disaster, like Hurricane Katrina, a Tsunami, or a terror attack. With the rapidly growing number and increasing cost of worldwide disasters this phenomenon is practically relevant and calls for novel technological and managerial solutions. At the same time it is theoretically interesting and a benign object of study because of the scale, the impact and the dynamics of crises. Individual project will focus on "Modeling architectures for coordination and communication platforms"
