CIRCMI is one of the research and development units at the School of Information Sciences (SIS) at the University of Tampere. CIRCMI is a networked and collaborative partner research unit which focuses on emergent research challenges in the area of business, ICT and organizational transformation. Examples are customer driven business development, competitiveness strategies, product and service integration management, business communities and innovation building, mass customization and strategic agility, use of strategic ICT and change management of knowledge-based companies.

The members of the research unit have a number of years experience in organisation research and related methods, such as case and action research. We have three PhD's and several researchers in each project for normally 2-3 years. We have close collaboration with other university research groups and units, for example with the Tampere University of Technology.

CIRCMI represents an innovative and multidisciplinary approach in the research arena of organisations, industries and societies. We keep constant co-operation relationships with Honkong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), RWTH Aachen Universty and collaborate with leading consultant organizations, such as Joseph Pine, Strategic Horizons. We have also opened up an avenue for Asia-oriented research program, called Asia Business Academy (www.aba.fi) which collaborates with other UTA Asia programs.
