Research Interests

The research group I3 does research on the the two major global trends: Digital Transformation and Globalization.

I3

Prof. Lattemann published 15 books and more than 200 articles in journals, on conferences or as book chapters. He published in (abs 3 and abs 4  journals) such as Journal of World Business, Regional Studies,  Energy Policy, and  MIR- Management International Review, Thunderbird International Business Review, Corporate Governance – An International Review, International Journal of Emerging Markets, BISE -WI, Journal of Electronic Commerce Research.

The main research areas of the team are

  • Information Management
  • Design Thinking/Innovation Management/Design Sciene Research
  • International Business with a focus on China and Emerging Markets

The research fields of the I3 group encompass two major current global topics: (1) International Business/Globalization, and (2) Digital Transformation with particular emphasis on Innovation Management/Information Systems. Both research topics are mutually connected, because international enterprises collaborate more and more closely with their business partners, such as suppliers, customers, competitors, corporate citizens, government, etc. by integrating them into their value creation chain to gain competitive advantages. New internet technologies and innovation management approaches (e.g. Open Innovation and Design Thinking) are drivers of these trends.

To do research on the digital transformation in the service sector, in 2011, Christoph Lattemann built up a Design Thinking Lab at Jacobs University – the D-Forge. Research related to the D-Forge deals with the user-centered adoption of innovative technologies in the service industry to establish new entrepreneurial opportunities, ICT-based business models, and creative and different ways to collaborate, and innovate. The D-Forge is an innovative space and has become an exemplary place for learning, where the I3 group brings together not only many international students but also SMEs and MNEs.

To intensify the research on International Business at Jacobs University, Prof. Lattemann established in 2012 the “Center for the Study on China and Globalization” (ChinaGlobal Center). In combination with his position as the vice president of the Chinese Globalization Association (a NPO registered in the USA) and the vice-directorship of the Confucius Institute Bremen (KIB) he and his I3 research group (together with the research group of Prof. ten Brink from Jacobs University) investigate many of the important emerging questions related to China’s globalization.
