Moritz Kleinaltenkamp is a Postdoc at the Department of Organization, working in the GRAND project on the organizational consequences of large-scale funding.
He studies all parts of the innovation process, from emerging technology research, development, and use at the organizational level to the governance of such technologies at the societal level. He draws on organization theories including temporality, performativity, and institutional theory.
Moritz holds a Dr. rer. pol. from the Hertie School and a Master’s in Technology Policy from Cambridge University. He has received awards and scholarships from international organizations such as the OMT division of AOM and the German Academic Scholarship Foundation. Along his research, he has gained multiple years of experience as a consultant focusing on public sector digital transformation, and has taught executive education lectures on this subject.
