Biography
Julia Krönung graduated in business administration from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main in 2009. As an economist, she first came into contact with business informatics during her studies and completed her doctorate on user attitudes at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main in 2013.
From 2014 to 2019, she was a junior professor for e-business and e-government at the University of Mannheim. During this time, she expanded her research focus to include user assistance and digital diversity.
Specifically, she investigates which factors condition the acceptance of internet-based services and what influence their use or avoidance has on economic and public processes. The perspective of people who are underrepresented in the digital world, such as women or older people, is a focus of her research.
Julia Krönung was a professor in the Department of Information Systems at EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht from December 2019 to July 2022. In August 2022, she moved to the FernUniversität in Hagen with her Chair of Sociotechnical Systems Design.
