Oktay Turetken is a Full Professor in Information Systems at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and the Chair of the Industrial Engineering Bachelor Program. He is also a member of The European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS), Münster, Germany. He has been a visiting researcher at the Queensland University of Technology. He is acting as an Associate Editor of the journal of BISE - Business & Information Systems Engineering. 

In his research, Oktay focuses on the development of innovative digital solutions. He applies an engineering lens to manage the business models for such solutions by developing methods and tools to facilitate their operational design, implementation, and improvement.  In doing so, he leverages the practices and technologies from various fields, including business process management and enterprise modeling. Specifically, he is interested in collaborative digital business models, which enable value co-creation among multiple stakeholders. Through his work, he aims to contribute to the effective and sustainable outcomes of such models for all parties involved, including users, service providers, and the broader society. His typical application area for such models is the mobility domain. In recent projects, he has focused on designing and implementing digital platforms, including shared mobility and mobility-as-a-service, to enhance the integration of various mobility services in urban areas.

Oktay's research also involves developing capability maturity models to help organizations enhance their capabilities in advanced data analytics, as well as business process and business model management.

Since 2014, he has led and contributed to multiple EU and industry-funded projects, particularly in the mobility domain. He co-founded MobilitEU, a not-for-profit initiative dedicated to fostering open Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms across Europe. Additionally, he serves as an Expert Member of the Foresight Group on Future Mobility for People and Goods within the European Automotive Research Partners Association (EARPA). He is also a member of the MaaS Alliance's Business Models and Governance Working Group, a public-private partnership that aims to build a strong foundation for the implementation and adoption of MaaS across Europe

He is a regular contributor to journals, such as Business & Information Systems Engineering, Business Process Management Journal, and Information and Software Technology.
