BEEx – Business Ecosystem Explorer: Visual Analysis of Urban Mobility Business Ecosystems
Duration: 2017—2020, Partners: TU Munich, Chair of Software Engineering of Business IS (Germany), Prof. Dr. F. Matthes
Project Description
This research project with TU Munich focused on visual analysis of urban mobility business ecosystems. It comprised development of a visual analytic system, the Business Ecosystem Explorer (BEEx) and led us to formulate policy recommendations for data collection and management towards governance of mobility business ecosystems in large metropolitan areas. The work based on findings of the TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility (TUM LLCM) project and was co-funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) grant BEEx+ 01IS17049. This cooperation resulted in various publications including several book chapters and conference papers and builds a basis for the current research on smart city governance and urban sustainability.

SmartNets – The Transformation from Collaborative Knowledge Exploration Networks into Cross Sectoral and Service Oriented Integrated Value Systems
EU Project, Duration: 2011-2014, Partners: intl. consortium with 15 European partner organizations
Project Description
In this project, I explored management concepts and IS strategies for the digitalization of innovation and organization through qualitative and design science studies, by examining collaborative work systems in innovation networks. Findings indicated that inter-organizational IS allow firms and networks to radically restructure their innovation strategies and practices to redefine themselves through platform-based business models. In this respect, I have for example looked at the emergence of “boundary clusters” in inter-organizational settings (Rehm & Goel 2015 in Information & Organization), complementarities (Rehm & Goel 2017 in Information & Management), and at how IS enable cooperative innovation (Rehm et al. 2016 in Int. J. of Information Management). By adopting cooperative, adaptive work environments, firms can seek more open and fluid collaboration, sharing and engagement (Rehm et al. 2015 in MISQE). Together with my co-authors I have framed the concept of IS-embedded network resources (Rehm et al. 2017 in JAIS) that captures how organizing becomes a dynamic system of dialogues in which new value creation potentials are being opened and seized concurrently with the emergence of new resources. This change in the nature of organizing and managing brings about new dynamics and patterns of work, new capabilities and practices, leadership styles and approaches, and places and spaces of work.
