Titel und Abstract des Dissertationsprojekts:

The contingent effect of regional social capital on the effectiveness of external information sources for innovation: A developing country perspective
Supervisor: Prof. Bönte (Wuppertal)

The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of a potential contingency on the effective use of external innovation sources regarding firm-level innovation performance. Combining insights from the institutional theory, social capital theory, the relational view and transaction cost theory, I posit that regionally bound social capital positively influences the use and appropriation of external knowledge leading to a better innovation output.
