Two of our researchers are doing research at Stanford University during 2015. Ove Granstrand is a visiting professor at SIEPR, while Marcus Holgersson is a visiting scholar at SCANCOR. Accessing both the academic environment at Stanford and the business environment in Silicon Valley is highly valuble for our ongoing research.
Jan Wallanders and Tom Hedelius foundation and Tore Browaldh’s foundation have awarded Marcus Holgersson with the Wallander scholarship financing three years of full-time research related to the economics and management of intellectual property. Holgersson aims to study how IP can be used to govern complex and interorganizational innovation processes, and the new quasi-integrated organizational forms enabled by IP governance.
– It feels great and encouraging. The Wallander scholarship offers a unique opportunity to continue and further develop my research within the field of IP management and economics.
