Overview
My research circles around understanding why some firms perform better than others, and how managers can transform this knowledge into better decisions. Within this broad scope, I work with a range of more specific questions related to strategy, innovation, external shocks, human capital, entrepreneurship, and platforms and networks. Below is an overview over my publications, work in progress, and conference papers. Click paper titles for more information and links to the papers.
