Advancing digital innovation responsibly
Karl Werder is an associate professor in the research group Information Systems and Digital Innovation at the Business IT department of the IT University of Copenhagen, DK. He serves as an associated editor at the Communications of the Association for Information Systems and as an editorial review board member for Decision Sciences Journal. Karl was a visiting scholar at Laval University, CA, and at Georgia State University, US. He served as an ad-hoc reviewer for many leading research journals in information systems, as well as independent research-supporting agencies such as US NSF and Rannís. Karl also provided his expert opinion to media outlets, such as IEEE Spectrum.
Karl's research interests focus on the systems development for performance, artificial intelligence for decision making, and organizing for digital innovation. His work has been published or is forthcoming in leading journals from information systems (e.g., Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Journal of Strategic Information Systems), software engineering (e.g., IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Communications of the ACM, Information & Software Technology), and management (e.g., California Management Review), among others.
