Digitalization; strategizing; uncertainty; philosophy of science; organizational capabilities
Currently I work as a research manager in the Laboratory of Business Disruption in CCR after defending my dissertation “Strategizing in the
New Normal” in November 2018. With a background in strategic communications,
management consulting, board work and entrepreneurship I value interventionist
research virtues that seek contributions to both theory and practice. My
research interests include digitalization as a sociotechnical trinity of
technological systems, humans and perceptions, strategy as a process and
practice, organizational capabilities and philosophy of science. Prior to the
doctoral degree in economics and administration I hold the degrees of
Executive Master of Business and Administration (EMBA) and Master of Music
(MMus), in addition to being a certified board member (HHJ).
My research can be positioned in the nexus of international business, strategic management, information systems and futures research streams. My theoretical contribution aims are integrative: in my research I wish to connect the dots of existing atomistic knowledge in order to facilitate understanding the bigger picture.
