Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) is an international scholarly and double-blind reviewed journal which publishes scientific research on the effective and efficient design and utilization of information systems by individuals, groups, enterprises, and society for the improvement of social welfare. Information systems are understood as socio-technical systems comprising tasks, people, and information technology. Research published in the journal examines relevant problems in the analysis, design, implementation and management of information systems and covers areas of information management, computer science, business administration and economics, new media, and operations research. BISE publishes bimonthly, and features a double-blind peer review process.

History

Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) is the English language successor of the journal WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK, which has been the flagship journal of the German-language Information Systems community for more than 50 years. The German journal elektronische datenverarbeitung, published since 1959, was renamed in Angewandte Informatik in 1971 and again in WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK in 1989, with the first issue published in 1990. To expand its reach in Europe and internationally, and to better reach its international scientific community, WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK has been published in a cover-to-cover English translation under the title Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) since issue 1/2009. The strategic decision to better address the international community led to the termination of the German WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK with issue 6/2014, and from issue 1/2015 onwards only the English Business & Information Systems Engineering remains.
