About

Henner Gimpel is a researcher at the intersection of digital transformation, logistics innovation, and human-centered decision-making. His work spans two compelling domains: the digitalization of industrial and logistics processes, and the neurological and emotional dimensions of managerial behavior. In the realm of Logistics 4.0, Gimpel has made significant contributions by examining how emerging digital technologies — from collaborative robotics to platform-based planning systems — reshape intralogistics operations. His 2023 paper on digital affordances in logistics has already garnered 37 citations, reflecting the timeliness and relevance of his insights for organizations navigating large-scale technological transformation. Equally distinctive is his interdisciplinary work bridging neuroscience and management science. His research on NeuroIS tools explores how emotion regulation shapes managerial decision-making, challenging purely rational models of organizational behavior and advocating for more nuanced, human-aware approaches to leadership and strategy. Gimpel's scholarship appeals to scholars and practitioners alike, offering both theoretical frameworks and actionable insights. Whether examining smart factory ecosystems or the emotional architecture of executive judgment, his research consistently highlights the human element within technological and organizational change — making him a valuable voice in contemporary management and information systems research.
