The term in office of our journal’s editors is generally limited. Every time a tenure ends, the editorial board determines new members by ballot vote. We welcome Prof. Dr. Gerti Kappel, TU Vienna (Austria), Prof. Dr. Susanne Strahringer, TU Dresden (Germany), and Prof. Cathy Urquhart, PhD, Manchester Metropolitan University (UK). At the same time, we would like to thank Martin Jetter, IBM, Frank Annuscheit, Commerzbank, and Prof. Dr. Stefan Kirn, University Hohenheim (Germany), who left the editorial board, for the valuable cooperation.

Moreover, the co-chair of the section “Information Systems” in the German Academic Association for Business Research (WKWI) will be ex officio member of the editorial board analogical to the co-chair of the section Business Informatics in the Association for Informatics (GI-FB WI) who already represents the editorial board. Thus, we welcome Prof. Dr. Thomas Hess, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (Germany) as a member of the editorial board.

Furthermore we are pleased to tighten the cooperation of BISE with the Association for Information Systems (AIS) by the membership of the AIS President within the editorial board. Thus, we welcome Prof. Dov Te’eni, PhD, Tel-Aviv University (Israel) from 2011-07-01 and hope to further accelerate the successes of the internationalization strategy.

We are looking forward to exciting and successful cooperation.

Prof. Dr. Hans Ulrich Buhl
