Competence Center Electronic Business (CEB)

The Competence Center Electronic Business (CEB Uni trier) provides the framework for interdisciplinary research and intensive exchange between science and practice at the interface between people and technology. Digitization and networking are continuously gaining importance for practice. E-business and e-commerce are often only superficially used buzzwords. This obscures the view of fundamental change processes. Established structures are changing under the influence of technological possibilities, innovative business systems are even establishing new markets and industries in individual areas. This change poses great challenges for science and practice. These are the topics we are addressing.
