Managing Director & Vice-President

Dr. Andreas Neus

Dr. Andreas Neus is Managing Director and Vice President at the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions, which examines how market decisions taken by consumers and marketers are changing. To explore these changes, it is important to understand how new technologies and trends will affect the availability and quality of data about behavior in markets, increased transparency, lowered transaction costs due to new communication and payment systems, as well as disruptive platforms and value creation models.

New technical solutions for visualizing large amounts of data for decision support and interactive data analysis on the one hand, and machine learning on the other hand, will change the way companies make decisions in the future. Furthermore, it is important to understand, how the growing group of “digital natives” want to communicate, cooperate, consume and make decisions – both as consumers and increasingly as decisionmakers in companies.

Before joining the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions, Andreas Neus headed the Service Innovation Lab at the KIT's Karlsruhe Service Research Institute, where he focused on disruptive innovation in information-based business models, and was the Media & Entertainment EMEA lead at IBM's think-tank "Institute for Business Value" in Amsterdam. Since 1999, he was responsible for managing innovation and transformation projects for media companies in Europe and North America.
