IS Research Program
Current Projects
1. Foundations Studies
a. This project examines the foundations of information systems in theory
and practice. A recent study suggests that "interaction" is a central
foundational concept for theorizing a firm's need for information
systems
2. Assimilation Studies
a. When firms innovate with new IT, they must ultimately assimilate the
IT in their work practices, such that they gain new capabilities and
value from it.

E-business and m-business

This domain of research focuses on the business issues raised by the growth in the use of the World
Wide Web and the penetration of mobile phones in today's organizations. Faculty interests currently focus
on issues in the travel e-distribution and e-marketing fields, and on the area of mobile payments.
Professors: Peter OConnor, Jan Ondrus.

Econometric theory
Econometrics is concerned with the tasks of developing and applying quantitative or statistical methods to
the study and elucidation of economic principles. It combines economic or financial theory with probability,
statistics and computer sciences to analyze and test relationships. Theoretical econometrics considers
questions about the statistical properties of estimators and tests, while applied econometrics is concerned
with the application of econometric methods to assess or evaluate theories.
Econometric applications are wide-ranging in social and management sciences, generally when the data
are observational rather than obtained via a controlled experiment.
Professors: Guillaume Chevillon, Jean-Pierre Indjehagopian.

Combinatorial optimization
Operations Research researchers in the Department mainly focus on modeling and solving hard
combinatorial optimization problems with multiple binary decisions to be made (select or not?). The goal
is to model these problems, analyze their complexity, and find exact methods (based on mathematical
programming) or approximation methods (fast heuristics with worst-case performance guarantee). For
solving the both empirical and theoretical validation of these methods is provided. The design and
analysis of approximation methods is a core topic investigated by the research team.
Professors: Laurent Alfandari, Marc Demange.
