Research

Roth is a social systems theorist influenced by the works of Niklas Luhmann. His research focus is on theories and applications of functional differentiation in modern societies. Roth was among the first to apply culturomics in sociology, with one major result of this research being that the (self-) definition of modern societies as capitalist or economized may be inappropriate.[6][7][8] Further fields of research include multifunctional organizations and markets,[9][10] the digital transformation of social theory,[11] and foresight and future studies.[12]
