Three new DPE collegiates!

Irene Furlani, Verena Kummer and Sarah Ben Messaoud have joined the Research Training Group in April.

Irene will be supervised by Prof. Michael Grimm, while researching the effect of price information on online platforms on adoption, market efficiency and socio-economic outcomes in Kenya.

Verena will work with Prof. Andreas König and his team to find out how and why institutions affect the emergence of digital platforms and ecosystems, and how these digital platforms and ecosystems, vice versa, affect the institutional context they are embedded in.

Sarah will do her research under the supervision of Prof. Jan Krämer, where she will analyze and contribute to the understanding of the relationship between central actors of a platform ecosystem, with a focus on the strategic behavior of platform complementors.
