Duration: 2009 - 2013
The research landscape of economics has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the rapid development of electronic data processing and networking. This development requires an adaptation of the technological processes in the field of information and knowledge management.
However, the expansion of the use of economic experiments, especially through experimental business administration, which is becoming more and more important, is accompanied by capacity and security problems which can no longer be solved by the existing systems of the MaXLab (Magdeburger Labor für experimentelle Wirtschaftsforschung der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaft der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität). For these reasons, an expansion of experimental research can only be achieved with a fundamental system adaptation.
The proposed project serves to solve the two above-mentioned tasks within the framework of the research focus of the Faculty of Economic Sciences. The research focus "Decision Design" offers a structure that gives the existing excellent and internationally visible research achievements within the faculty a clear overall profile. In addition, it prepares the ground for the development of new, innovative projects and the sustainable improvement of the Faculty's third-party funding capability.
In order to make the research focus and the experimental laboratory even more efficient and competitive, the use of new technologies is necessary. The faculty is therefore applying for financial support to set up an integrated research database. This should:
- enable friction-free exchange with the internal and external public
- have an integrated experimental server
- have an integrated research server
The aim is to enable joint research by scientists from various faculties of the Otto-von-Guericke University and research with various scientific institutes in Saxony-Anhalt, the conduct of extensive experiments via the Internet in the greater Saxony-Anhalt area and internal faculty empirical work in compliance with high data protection regulations.
