Home | Florian Pethig

I am an Assistant Professor of Information Systems at Tilburg University. I received my PhD from the University of Mannheim. Previously, I worked as a business data analyst at zeroG. My research focuses on digital platforms, user-generated content, and the societal impact of IT.

My work is published in leading journals, including MIS Quarterly, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, and Journal of Business Ethics. It has also been presented at premier conferences across information systems and marketing, such as ICIS, SCECR, WISE, and the Marketing Science Conference.

I have received funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Joachim Herz Foundation, and Wikimedia Deutschland. In 2023, I received the Best Associate Editor Award at ECIS.
