Research

Thematically, I am interested in corporate social responsibility/sustainability, internationalization, and family businesses. Theoretically, I focus on institutional theory and its explicative utility for the mutuality between innovation and institutions, as well as decoupling, which refers to the gap between policies and practices or outcomes.
