Martin De Saulles

My research interests have a business and technology focus with a core theme being the impact of new technologies on business models as well as the broader socio-economic environment.

I am particularly interested in the ways that information is used by organisations as a source of competitive advantage and innovation. Over the last decade I have been on the organising committee of the European Conference Series on eGovernment (ECEG) and presented and reviewed papers as well as chaired sessions at these events. More recently I joined the organising committee of the European Conference Series on Social Media (ECSM). Being involved with these events has brought me into contact with many academics from around the world and led to my current interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) and business model innovation.

I am currently working on a research project to better understand the business models being developed and deployed by data-driven enterprises across a range of sectors.

Current research projects:

• The information business;
• Data-driven business models.

Previous research projects:

• Information literacy;
• Public sector data exploitation.

I am interested in supervising postgraduate research students in the area of data-driven business models and innovation.
