Presenter

Dr. Mareike Möhlmann | Assistant Professor, Bentley University

Dr. Möhlmann is Assistant Professor in Bentley University’s Information and Process Management Department where she conducts research in the field of information systems management. She is interested in platforms’ use of digital technologies (e.g., matching algorithms or digital trust tools) and the effects on platform participants (e.g., Uber drivers or Airbnb users). Her major research interests are (1) algorithmic management on online labor platforms and the future of work, and (2) digital trust and reputation on (sharing economy) platforms.

Previously, she worked as an Assistant Professor at Warwick Business School (2016-2020), as a visiting scholar/teaching fellow at the London School of Economics (2018-2020), and a postdoctoral researcher at NYU’s Stern School of Business (2015-2016). She holds a doctoral degree in Business/Management from the University of Hamburg (2012-2015), and an M.Sc. in Management from the London School of Economics (2010). Before starting her career in academia she worked for the United Nations (NYC office) on topics such as sustainability, climate change, and the green economy.

Her work has been published in top journal outlets such as the MIS Quarterly, Research Policy, the Harvard Business Review, and Research in the Sociology of Organizations. Google Scholar reports that her work is cited 500 times per year. The first single-authorship article she published during her PHD in 2015 was cited more than 1300 times (Google Scholar) and was the Journal of Consumer Behaviour’s “most cited article in the last 3 years” in 2020 and 2021. She received awards for her scholarly activities (e.g., the Bentley University Outstanding Scholarly Contribution Award in 2022).
