Research Overview
My past research has investigated the drivers of innovation across diverse domains, including business models, production processes, and product design. To understand what facilitates such innovation, I have employed a comprehensive, multi-methodological approach that integrates theoretical research, case studies, statistical empirical analysis, computational experiments, and mathematical optimization. Building upon and refining these methodologies, my current work explores the future of organizations and management.
