National Research and International Competitiveness - An Antinomy?

Abstract

Research results should be shared internationally and have to face international competition. This requires their publication in the lingua franca of business and science, the English language. This especially applies to the so-called top-level research. The individual scientific disciplines have arrived at different stages in the transformation process of internationalization. Many of the findings of German-language research in Business and Information Systems Engineering (BISE) are now being published in English. Since 2009, also the journal WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK has been published in the English language (Buhl 2009).
