Research Themes and Philosophy

I seek better explanations of strategic and entrepreneurial processes through a consideration of the institutional, historical and organizational contexts in which they are embedded. In this way, I strive to contribute to the strategy and entrepreneurship literatures by bringing into the foreground, contextual or background factors that are often ignored, underspecified or treated as limitations or boundary conditions. Context is what surrounds strategic and entrepreneurial behavior and gives it meaning. As a consequence, an appreciation of context leads to more finely grained theoretical accounts and facilitates the identification of potentially insightful contingencies that moderate, and offer better explanations of complex organizational phenomena.
