Thomas Sammer
I am a Phd student and research associate at the Institute of Information Management 3 (Chair of Prof. Andrea Back) at the University of St. Gallen. In 2010 I’ve earned a master’s degree in management and international business at the University of Graz, Austria. Since August 2010 I am enrolled in the doctoral program in business innovation at the University of St. Gallen where I focus my research on applying social media technologies on business processes. I am active in the fields of consulting (e.g. for Bayer Business Services GmbH), teaching and research. Beside my research on social media topics, I am also engaged with research targeting mobile applications and project leader of the SWITCH funded project Mobile Uni-App. For a one slide summary of my CV visit slideshare.net.
