I think
As management scholar interested in strategy, innovation and entrepreneurship, I work at the intersection of managerial economics and management science. In my research work I am currently interested in various dimensions of innovation and in the basis of corporate transformation
- Innovation strategies such as open innovation or frugal innovation
- Entrepreneurship, innovation & failure, in particular, the role of failure, the costs of failure and learning from failure for innovation
- Higher education and its relationship with innovation, also innovation in higher education.
Over the past years, I have worked on projects in the context of innovation and innovation systems quite extensively.
I write
In my publications I have focused on different actors in innovation systems, on their activities, their strategies, and their performance.
Currently, the papers in my publication pipeline deal with the role that strategies, digital technologies – in particular AI – , and external actors have on corporate transformation, innovation, and performance. Additionally, we look at catch-up processes.
Reflecting my own work environment I have edited a volume analyzing the effect of technological development on higher education ‘The Disruptive Power of Online Education’.
