Dr. Florian Pethig

I am an assistant professor (non-tenure track, akademischer Rat a.Z.) in information systems at University of Mannheim. I received my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in information systems from the University of Mannheim. I previously worked as a business data analyst at zeroG (Lufthansa Group), specializing in data science and the digital transformation. My research into digital platforms and the digitization of organizations is geared toward understanding how technology impacts the behavior and welfare of people. My work has appeared in Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Journal of Business Ethics, and Government Information Quarterly.

I enjoy running and a good pour-over coffee. In a previous life, I have been speedcubing and competed in the German Nationals.
