Jan Recker's research focuses on the opportunities and risks of digitalization for companies. His research interests include digital entrepreneurship and the creation of new digital companies, the invention and use of digital innovations, the digital transformation of existing organizations, the digitalization of products, services, and processes, and the provision of digital solutions for sustainable development goals.
Between 2005 and 2010, Jan Recker focused primarily on the adoption of the new process modeling standard BPMN. He published the first usage studies.[4][5] The results subsequently contributed to the further development of the standard.[6][7] From 2010 onwards, he increasingly focused on the question of how companies develop and use digital solutions to successfully implement sustainability strategies. Together with Stefan Seidel and Jan vom Brocke, he published one of the first field studies on the topic.[8]
