Primary research areas
Strategy & Innovation
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.
Innovation & Globalization
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.
