Research: navigating sustainability transitions
My research centers on sustainability transition pathways across various sectors, including construction, tourism, and energy. I am particularly interested in business modeling, organizational capabilities, and conflict management, with a specific emphasis on hybrid organizations and their role as intermediaries in transitions. Additionally, I explore growth and change processes within new organizational forms, focusing on transformations in strategy, actions, stakeholder engagement, and leadership.
I primarily employ qualitative research methods, complemented by quantitative approaches when appropriate. My work is characterized by its practical relevance and interdisciplinary nature. Over the years, I have supervised a substantial number of master's theses, emphasizing both theoretical and applied contexts. I highly value the personal drive and ambition of both students and colleagues in achieving academic and professional excellence.
Teaching: inspiring innovation and critical thinking
I teach courses in entrepreneurship, business development, organization theory, leadership, and research methodology, serving as a course director within the latter. I supervise master’s theses in management and entrepreneurship, guiding students through rigorous research and critical inquiry.
Collaboration and workplace engagement
Beyond teaching and research, I actively contribute to improving the social and physical working environment within the Department of Management and Engineering (IEI).
