Exploring strategic management through rigorous research and innovative methodologies

Research Philosophy

My research is driven by a commitment to understanding the complex dynamics that shape competitive advantage in modern organizations. I employ both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to examine how firms navigate uncertainty, build capabilities, and create sustainable value in rapidly evolving markets. My work bridges theoretical insights with practical implications, aiming to contribute to both academic knowledge and managerial practice.

Competitive Dynamics

Investigating how firms respond to competitive moves and the factors that influence the speed and intensity of competitive interactions in various industry contexts.

Innovation Strategy

Examining how organizations develop and implement innovation strategies, including the role of organizational culture, resources, and external partnerships.

Digital Transformation

Analyzing how digital technologies reshape competitive landscapes and the strategic implications for traditional and digital-native firms.
