ILM’s research brings focus to emerging market dynamics and industry 4.0 effects in core research areas of International Leadership & Management with a particular interest in SME and international new venture. This research agenda has been pushed through international positioning and collaboration with other established – primarily Scandinavian – research groups.
The goal of the research group is to contribute to an improved understanding of
- Internationalization of SMEs and new ventures
- Internationalization potentials in relation to novel technologies
- Emerging market dynamics – in particular, internationalization potentials of SMEs and new ventures in relation to novel technologies in this market context
Accordingly, ILM research involves studies into the emergence and growth of firms in diverse international markets and brings insights to the organization of marketing and strategic activities within the firm and through the interplay with other actors.
ILM host the bi-annual International Entrepreneurship Workshop which attracts leading researchers from around the world. In extending this network ILM is proud to have affiliated one of the founding researchers of the IE discipline, Tamer Cavusgil, as Honorary Professor. We will look forward to your participation at our workshop series.
