The Chair

Professor Carolin Haeussler and her team focus their research and teaching on the intersection of organisation, technology management and entrepreneurship – a fascinating area for academia and an exciting challenge for business. We identify patterns, describe them and tackle the phenomena to be studied using business and microeconomic approaches.

This approach allows our students to take in the theoretical fundament and apply it successfully to actual problems.

We are thrilled to announce that a research paper by Prof. Carolin Häussler on "Good Faith" clauses in strategic alliances has been published in the Strategic Management Journal! In this study, we explore why partners in collaborations include such clauses in their contracts and what role they actually play. Using computerized analysis of corporate website language, we were able to determine whether organizations share similar cognitive frames. Our data reveal that Cognitive Frame Similarity is a strong predictor for the use of "Good Faith" clauses. The more similar the companies are, the more likely they are to include such clauses. Furthermore, this effect is amplified when the collaboration occurs in environments of high technological uncertainty. However, the effect diminishes as partners gain more prior experience with alliances.
