I am currently involved in corporate strategic management on innovation competency/ intellectual property management., as mentioned in the “major section.” of this homepage.
The topic foremost in my mind these days is the challenges faced when going transnational.These days, companies are working furiously to find ways to create and deploy science-based intellectual properties in order to propel corporate growth and development.. What caught my attention was the fact that many of those businesses are creating and utilising such property on an international scale., or globally dispersed manner.
A key concept of my research over the past twenty years has been “organizations and markets”.in a global context.
My approach has not been simply to back up a conclusion I already had at the start, but rather to thoroughly observe what is actually going on in the world and use those facts to prove or disprove hypotheses.
I would remain dedicated to this method of observation and empirical research, and to shedding light on the very essence of things.
