Dr. Sieber's areas of interest center on the interplay of strategic management and information systems, as well as on the role of new information and communication technologies (ICT) for organizational learning and innovation. She has studied problems of technology adoption and IS implementation in great depth. In her research, she highlights the need for an improved user knowledge about IS, especially if IS has a strategic role in the organization; she also claims that a more interdepartmental and collaborative approach of joint project accountability is needed.

Dr. Sieber is currently looking into ICT-enhanced innovation and how the adoption of new technologies may change work-practices in enterprises. Dr. Sieber is especially interested in those industries that are being transformed by recent technological advances, such as telecommunication, banking, media and entertainment.

Dr. Sieber has published scholarly and general articles in national and international journals, magazines and newspapers, and contributed to several books.
