Current Professional Activities:

Since October 2009 I am with the Institute for Information and Process Managemet IPM at the FHS St. Gallen, University for Applied Sciences, St. Gallen, Switzerland.  There I am responsible for the new interdisciplinary research area on eSociety (www.esociety.net). 

Personally, my major research interests concern changing patterns of communication and interaction arising from the emerging Digital Economy. I am especially interested in the fields of Electronic Markets and Electronic-, Mobile-, or ‘Ubiquitous’ Business, or, in more general terms, in the increasing importance of ‘information’ in societies and its impact, especially on value creation. Developments to watch are especially the areas of 'Ubiquitous Computing', 'Ambient Intelligence', or ‘Web 2.0’.
See my personal Blog (HD's Two Cents - Themen rund um die Informationsgesellschaft (German only)) for further discussions and statements.

For the well accepted international academic journal 'Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business' (current cfp) I am serving as an Associate Editor.

Before, I was working as a Senior Research Associate and Senior Lecturer at the =mcminstitute for Media and Communications Management, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland where I was responsible for the research group Competence Center Electronic Markets CCEM and other CCEM-related projects at the =mcminstitute.
