In spite of a dedicated literature analysis, it is often not easy to find suitable literature. For this reason I would like to give some pointers. This serves as an initial orientation and also shows at least the literature that I used more and more in my doctorate. The sources in bold are papers, which I particularly recommend.
Reading tip: Find literature

Author

I blog about the influence of digitalization on our working world. For this purpose, I provide content from science in a practical way and show helpful tips from my everyday professional life. I am an executive in an SME and I wrote my doctoral thesis at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg at the Chair of IT Management.
