Our research focuses on firms, contexts, and success

Strategy&techology research (Firm strategy/strategizing, technology, and success)

Strategy&technology research (Firm strategy/strategizing, technology, and success) investigates how firms can make use of new technologies, i.e. AI and digital technologies, for firm strategy, how firms are impacted by new technologies, and how firms can transform themselves in order to address the opportunities of and challenges by new technologies. This research stream is conceptual and empirical in nature, it is theory-developmental and practice-oriented,  and develops new and better practices towards strategy/strategizing innovations.

I     AI & Strategy/Strategizing

II    Strategy models (Strategy, Technology, Operations, and Performance)

III   Strategizing and strategic flexibility in turbulent environments

Strategy&global contexts research ((De)Growth, (de)globalization, and success)

Strategy&global contexts research ((De)Growth, (de)globalization, and success) investigates how firm strategies shape and are effected by (de)globalization. This research is extending the theory of the MNE, small and large scale empirical, and supports companies on its transformations in the global landscape. We are able to exploit data bases such as our Scope Change data base to investigate growth patterns of firms from advanced and emerging economies.

IV   Strategy and geopolitical disruptions

V    Corporate growth and scope change of emerging economies' firms

VI   Corporate growth and scope change of advanced economies' firms

Theory of the firm research

Theory of the firm research is conceptual, foundational, and ground-breaking. Here, we further develop our theory of the firm and make time and uncertainty key constructs in describing and explaining entrepreneurship, corporate development and transformation.

VII  Time and uncertainty and the theory of corporate transformation

VIII The firm as an attempt and institution
