Matthäus Wilga, M.Sc., M.Sc.
Matthäus Wilga is a doctoral researcher at the Chair of Information Systems I, Innovation and Value Creation at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, and a research collaborator at the Cambridge Service Alliance at the Institute of Manufacturing, University of Cambridge.
Matthäus holds a M.Sc. in International Business with a specialization in strategy and innovation from Maastricht University, as well as an International M.Sc. in Management from Nova School of Business Economics in Lisbon / Portugal. As an undergraduate, he studied International Relations and Management at the University of Applied Sciences in Regensburg, where he focused on business, international politics as well as culture studies, and gained international experience at the Novia University of Applied Sciences in Turku / Finland. Matthäus gained international practical experience in multinational corporations such as Philips and ProsiebenSat.1 Media SE, in the robotics start-up Magazino and as a freelance consultant in the manufacturing sector.
His research focuses on the integration of AI agents in digital and physical service settings. He has published research on both the role of AI agents in service interactions and their impact on human well-being. At the Cambridge Service Alliance, Matthäus works together with Prof. Mohamed Zaki and explores how the integration of digital AI agents shapes service experience in physical settings, with a focus on customer experience in retail.

Digital Transformation as a core driver influences service offerings and business models, as well as organisation, collaboration and forms of human labour. The ability to shape digital services has the potential to be a key competence in this new idea of value creation. There is already a trend of technical innovations like Artificial Intelligence (AI) or the Internet of Things (IoT) being applied in digital services. More over, digitalisation offers new ways of interaction between provider and…

The research project SHAPE aspires to foster data-driven service innovations, which offer substantial benefits for the transformation and resilience of the German economy. Customer-specific, data-driven services increasingly require the cooperation of several actors, who have the required know-how, methodological expertise and resources. As a result, value co-creation is increasingly taking place in ecosystems. Hence, during the project period, the SHAPE hub is to be developed as a vehicle to or…
