Forschungsinteressen

In meiner Forschung untersuche ich den Einfluss von Führungskräften (z.B. CEOs, Entrepreneure) auf die Innovationstätigkeit von Unternehmen. In diesem Zusammenhang beschäftige ich mich insbesondere mit der Frage, welche Rolle weibliche Führungskräfte auf das Innovationsgeschehen in Unternehmen haben. Darüber hinaus untersuche ich in aktuellen Studien die Rolle von nachhaltigen Innovationen. Meine Artikel sind in renommierten akademischen Zeitschriften, wie dem Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management, Journal of Business Venturing, Journal of Product Innovation Management, und Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice erschienen.
