- Abstract (EN)
- This interview with Eric Clemons complements Electronic Markets’ special issue on Social Welfare Computing. It reflects the long experience of an information systems scholar who started his career in the 1970s. In 1976, Eric completed his Ph.D. in Operations Research at Cornell University and has been a professor at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania since 1976. In 1994, he was appointed Professor of Operations and Information Management as well as Professor of Management at Wharton and held this position until his retirement in 2021. He remains emeritus and is currently a Visiting Professor at the Law, Management, Politics, and Philosophy Department of Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. In his work, Eric has authored influential publications on the strategic impact of information technology (IT), in particular on competitive advantage (Clemons, 1986), the role of interorganizational systems like Economost from McKesson Drug company (Clemons & Row, 1988), the impact of IT on interorganizational relations with the move-to-the-middle hypothesis (Clemons et al., 1993), and the changing role of online content in the successful launch of new companies without reliance upon traditional advertising (Clemons, 2008). In his recent research, he has coined the notion of Social Welfare Computing that reflects a shift from the impact of IT in the business world to how IT impacts social and political processes (Clemons et al., 2022a).
