A man with short-cropped light hair and a mustache stands in a bright room, likely a seminar room or office at the University of Sheffield. He is wearing a light blue, finely striped button-down shirt tucked into dark trousers with a brown leather belt. Around his neck, he wears a blue lanyard printed with "The University of Sheffield" holding an ID badge. The man has his hands loosely clasped in front of him and is looking attentively to the right, as if watching a presentation or listening to someone. In front of him is a white mobile lectern featuring the blue and gold crest of the University of Sheffield on its front panel. On top of the lectern are an open black laptop, a black computer keyboard, a mouse, a black desk phone, and a Dell monitor. The monitor displays a university login screen with a reference to "Windows 11." In the background, to the left, there is a light wood door with a narrow vertical glass pane revealing a glimpse of trees outside. A notice with technical instructions is taped to the white wall behind the laptop.

Publication on Algorithmic Management in Traditional Organizations in BISE Journal

The professorship Digital Transformation published a new study on the impact of Algorithmic Management in traditional organizations.
The image presents a first-person perspective inside a modern, high-tech manufacturing facility. In the sharp foreground, a pair of hands wearing grey, textured protective gloves holds a black tablet computer. The tablet screen displays a detailed analytics dashboard featuring various data visualizations in shades of blue and grey, including pie charts, bar graphs, line charts, and percentage indicators, suggesting real-time monitoring of production metrics. In the slightly out-of-focus mid-ground, two male workers are collaborating at a stationary machine control panel equipped with a monitor. The worker on the left has his back to the viewer, wears a dark blue work shirt, and is holding a laptop. Facing him in profile is a second worker wearing a high-visibility yellow safety vest over a blue shirt; he is gesturing towards the control screen as if analyzing data. The background is filled with large yellow industrial robotic arms engaged in assembly work on metal frames or car chassis along a production line.

Publication of a Study on Power Contestation and Regulation in Digital Platform Ecosystems

The professorship Digital Transformation published a study on the impact of the EU Digital Markets Act on power dynamics in platform ecosystems.
An isometric vector illustration rendered in monochromatic shades of blue and grey, depicting themes of digital infrastructure and governance. At the top center, the flag of the European Union is clearly displayed with its circle of twelve yellow stars on a blue field. Beneath the flag sits a stylized, complex geometric structure resting on a circular, tiered base. This structure features a central cube surrounded by smaller rectangular blocks and connecting lines, resembling a digital platform, server architecture, or a circuit board. Floating around the structure are small spheres and lines indicating connectivity. In the background, stylized white clouds float above a faint, minimalist city skyline silhouette on the horizon. The image utilizes a flat design aesthetic to symbolize technology under European oversight.

Publication in MIS Quarterly: Study on trust-building of domain experts in AI-based counterparts

Prof. Manuel Wiesche published a study in the Management Information Systems Quarterly (MIS Quarterly) Journal together with three colleagues.
A stylized infographic on a white background illustrates the concept of artificial intelligence. In the exact center of the image are the two large, black letters "AI". A triangular arrangement of three round medallions is placed around this center. The top, central medallion shows a futuristic, dark robot or android, whose head and torso are covered with a luminous blue, neon-like circuit pattern and whose eyes glow bright blue. The two lower medallions show stylized people: on the left, a man with dark hair in a suit with a blue tie, and on the right, a woman with long, dark hair and a red top. All three circles are interconnected by thick, dynamically flowing bands that look like organic cables or data streams in black, orange, red, and blue, symbolizing the connection and interaction between AI, the man, and the woman.
