PhD defence: Matilde Fogh Kierkegaard

Taking the perspective of both the firm-side and demand-side of a value chain, this thesis identify innovation performance as value created at the levels of both the manufacturer, the salesperson and the consumer. By attending to both the manufacturer and product market, the three papers constituting this thesis identify opportunities to augment value creation by exploring whether systematic behavioral bounds determine the likelihood of innovations to fulfill firms’ expectations for innovation performance. The thesis introduces specific behavioral strategies for the decision-making context that are critical to realizing business outcomes and identifying the key observations and challenges that managers face, which affect value creation along dimensions of firm activities.
