Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, BI Norwegian Business School. My research interests are concentrated in the areas of global and cooperative strategy and innovation. In particular, I study the development, transfer, and protection of knowledge within and between firms in a global context. In addition, my work examines how innovation and digitalization influence global strategic decisions. My research has been published in the Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Management, and MIT Sloan Management Review, and has been nominated for several awards. I have won the AOM ITC Emerald Best International Dissertation Award and numerous reviewer awards. I am on the editorial review board of several journals and have held various positions in the Strategic Management Society and the organization of different academic conferences.

Scholarly efforts to propose future directions for international business (IB) research have generated a timely and extensive inventory of potentially interesting areas of research. We supplement this line of inquiry by suggesting that an additional layer of scrutiny could be beneficial when advocating in favor of giving more attention to particular research realms. Specifically, we advance several guiding principles that will help IB scholars assess which research areas merit greater scholarly attention, based on their potential importance and impact. We distinguish between (1) research in new or underdeveloped research domains, where salience, urgency, and actionability are critical elements, and (2) new research in relatively well-established domains, where scholars may contribute to changing the theoretical conversations taking place in IB.
