Christian Vay

Christian Vay serves as a Researcher at the Chair of Business Information Systems and Management Support within the Department of Business Administration at the University of Augsburg's School of Business and Economics. Appointed in September 2020, he concurrently pursues his doctoral dissertation scheduled for completion in 2025 under Prof. Dr. Marco Meier's supervision.

His academic foundation includes a Bachelor's degree in Business and Economics from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg followed by a Master's in Information-Oriented Business Administration from the University of Augsburg (February 2018). Practical experience spans industrial clerk apprenticeships and professional roles in product management, sales, and logistics.

Vay's research centers on integrating self-leadership competencies into business education through digital pedagogy, addressing how universities can prepare students for leadership in volatile digital environments. His methodology emphasizes technology-enhanced learning systems and behavior change support frameworks within higher education curricula.

His publication trajectory reveals consistent focus on self-leadership systems across ECIS, HICSS, and WI conferences, with growing emphasis on crisis-resilient leadership competencies and curriculum integration. The 2025 dissertation synthesizes these threads into a comprehensive IT-supported self-leadership framework.

As an active reviewer for WI, ECIS, and HICSS conferences, Vay contributes to scholarly discourse while developing integrative approaches for embedding personal skills within Business Information Systems education.
