New Articles Citing Prof. Dr. Anja Schulze In light of the recent combustion engine developments in the European Union, Prof. Dr. Anja Schulze was cited in two interesting articles. Amongst others Prof. Dr. Anja Schulze points out that it is also important when to look at which CO2 emissions. During production, electric cars have a higher energy demand than combustion engines. During the lifetime, the ratio starts to turn because the combustion engine emits more CO2 than an electric car, provided the electricity is green. If we burn coal for the electricity, we have gained nothing. |

New Paper Published by Prof. Dr. Anja Schulze Together with Prof. Dr. Stefano Brusoni, Prof. Dr. Anja Schulze recently published an article in Strategic Management Journal about how dynamic capabilities change ordinary capabilities.

Big Welcome to our visiting PhD Maarten Cerpentier from the Ghent University! Maarten started in the department of Prof. Dr. Anja Schulze in the middle of February. We are very happy to welcome him in our team. As a small introduction, we asked him some questions about his background, research and interests. Read more about his answers below: |

What are you currently doing at the Professorship of Prof. Dr. Anja Schulze?
With Prof. Dr. Schulze, I am working on several projects related to firms’ innovation commercialization performance. In particular, we examine how countries’ institutional frameworks influence the likelihood that firms can successfully launch and commercialize new products. The institutions that I am interested in the most (and where my research is about) are employment protection laws, and intellectual property protection. Besides that, I also work together with Prof. Dr. Schulze on a project that examines how firms external open innovation search impacts the successful launch and commercialization of new products across the European Union.
What is your academical background?
I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degrees (both in Business Economics) at Ghent University (Belgium). I graduated in 2017. After working as a Research Associate at the Vlerick Business School, I joined the Centre for Entrepreneurship Research and the Corporate Finance Research Group at Ghent University in April 2019 as a Ph.D. researcher, under the supervision of prof. dr. Tom Vanacker (Ghent University and University of Exeter) and co-supervision of Shaker Zahra (University of Minnesota).
Why did you choose the University of Zurich for your visiting scholar?
I chose the University of Zurich (Department of Business) because of its excellent reputation worldwide, which provides me with an ideal setting to present my work, and discuss my research results and plans with leading academic scholars. Moreover, the city of Zurich is a great place to visit for a couple of months, and trips to the surrounding Alps provide great opportunities to recharge batteries in the weekend!
