Primary research areas
MJI's current research concerns strategies and innovation in Danish shipping companies after year 2000, with focus on the case of the Danish shipping company Norden.
The master economist should examine the present in the light of past for purpose of the future (J.M. Keynes)
My research concerns innovation and globalization - more precisely the relation between the emerging techno-economic paradigms (such as ICT, motorization, electrification) and business models defined as customer-based value creation. The research focus concerns the maritime sector with focus on the organisational dynamics related to new business models including the changing relations between key-actors, strategies and structures (regime changes).
My current research includes:

Creating a research corridor between Odesa National Maritime University and Copenhagen Business School including the International Olesen Conference and a new Center of Excellence.
