Short presentation
In my current research, I primarily build on insights from analytical sociology to probe into the emergent and multi-level nature of social and organizational phenomena. I use these analytical lenses to examine (1) the accumulation and role of past experience in firms' internationalization processes, (2) emergence of innovative capabilities [e.g., Absorptive Capacity] as a result of action and interaction of individual organizational members.
