- Entrepreneurship, Ethics & Leadership Unit
Stefan Schwarzkopf is Associate Professor at the Department of Business Humanities and Law. His research sits at the crossroads between organizational theory, market studies and entrepreneurship. Schwarzkopf’s research helps society understand the challenges that emerge when entrepreneurs and companies as actors with a supposedly economic rationale engage with value-driven social movements. Empirically, he studies how organizations engage in non-market strategies. In numerous publications and research grants he reconstructed how the demand for virtue and ‘morality’ changes organizational strategies, and ultimately capitalism, as organizations begin to interact with the competing civil religions of our time. Theoretically, his research puts thresholds, borders and the act of concrete space ordering centre stage – as an antidote to contemporary emphasis on time, events, fluidity, and assemblages.
Schwarzkopf has published in leading journals in management and organization studies, economic sociology, and market studies, such as Organization Studies; Organization; Economy and Society; Environment and Planning D; Marketing Theory; and Theory, Culture & Society. He was Principal Investigator of two DFF-funded research projects (2020-2023). He has won the 2009 Coleman Prize for Best PhD Dissertation in British Business History (awarded by the Association of Business Historians), the 2012 Charles Slater Award for the Best Article in the Journal of Macromarketing, and a number of teaching awards at CBS. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Historical Research in Marketing. He is involved in organizing the bi-annual Interdisciplinary Market Studies Workshop.
