Research interests
My main research topics are positioned at the intersection of the two domains: international business and innovation. Below are my current research interests:
• Innovation and performance management in multi-cultural teams and organizations in knowledge-intensive industries (e.g. higher education institutions, business schools, and high-tech firms).
• International knowledge transfer in complex product systems industries (e.g. aircraft, nuclear power plant, and high speed railway)
• Role of technology (e.g. patent acquisition, patent infringement, etc.) and institution (e.g. bilateral relationships) in cross-border acquisitions and initial public offerings (IPO).
