I Think.

As a management scholar interested in strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the future, I work at the intersection of managerial economics and management science.

In my research work, I am currently interested in various dimensions of innovation and the basis of corporate and, in particular, sustainable transformation.

Over the past years, I have worked on numerous projects in the context of innovation, innovation strategies, and the future.

I Write.

In my publications, I have followed a systemic approach and focused on different actors in innovation systems, their activities to build (for) the future, their strategies, and their performance.

In my current the publication projects, I investigate innovation, idea generation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. The events since 2020 have prompted me to look more closely at the role innovation plays in times of crisis.

Recently, I have been working on two textbooks with Springer, which have already been published.

I have also published a more popular book introducing a tool that supports innovation for a sustainable future. The result is the Future Flip Book in a German version and in an English version.

I Speak.

As a faculty member at the University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany, I am happy to teach management of innovation at the Bachelor’s and the Master’s level, a field that I find thrilling and important at the same time.

I also frequently host workshops, give presentations, deliver keynotes, and hold trainings for larger and smaller audiences. You can find my speaking topics here.

Also, I love to facilitate discussions and panels both online and offline.
