Mission

As a knowledge centre for the closely related fields of design, organisation and media, the DOM Research Lab pursues an interdisciplinary approach and boasts worldwide contacts. Its central agenda focuses on research into the manifold possibilities for sensing, creating, and managing desired and innovative futures in organizations. DOM helps companies to set compelling innovation strategies, to develop innovations, and to build innovation capabilities. Its clients include companies like Siemens VAI, Borealis or Porsche Stuttgart.

For more than a decade, DOM has been regularly bringing internationally renowned experts to Upper Austria so as to enable the local economy to benefit from their know-how and experience. The resulting publications have been frequently listed in international best-seller rankings.

In addition to research activities and international conferences DOM engages in cross-institutional collaborations, e.g., by teaching in executive programs at the Austrian Business School, joining projects with business faculties from the Kepler University in Linz, or by engaging in research collaborations with the University of St. Gallen. DOM also provides supervision for master and doctorate students working on their theses and dissertations.
