Digital economy with special interests in digital shopping and gig economy
RESEARCH PROJECTS
Digital crisis and preparedness
The rapid development of the digital economy brings risks and dangers. Anticipating and preparing for the sudden occurrence of digital crises have become major priorities. This project, with a focus on digital crisis management, examines how digital companies could prepare for major digital crises, such as digital service failure.
Digitalization for Disaster Response Mission
The climate crisis lurks in the background and steadily instills disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides, and cyclones. This research project examines how technology can be designed and implemented to support activated disaster response organizations in their operations.
Digitalization of Healthcare Services
The healthcare sector is undergoing a major digital transformation due to rapidly changing demographic populations. This project examines the design, implementation, and usage of digital technology among healthcare workers in hospital settings.
