Chair of Organization and Innovation
Prof. Dr. Karin Hoisl
The Chair of Organization and Innovation is dedicated to the further development of organizational theories and organizational design – especially at the interface with innovation management. In addition, we support students in developing a critical understanding of economic interrelationships in the areas of organization and innovation to prepare them for future organizational challenges in a global competition.
Our research approach is quantitative-empirical, international-comparative and combines theoretical approaches from economics and behavioral sciences. Data analysis with sophisticated quantitative and qualitative methods enables the derivation of causal results.
Research areas:
- Knowledge management (e.g., knowledge acquisition and knowledge recombination, open innovation)
- Creativity and inventiveness (e.g., Organizational learning and creativity)
- IP strategy (e.g., protection and commercialization of innovations)
- Teams
- Management and sociology of science
- Entrepreneurial finance
