Ann-Kristin Zobel, Associate Program Chair

Ann-Kristin’s research focuses on how firms transform from a traditionally closed innovation model to a model of open innovation that increasingly integrates external sources of innovation and paths to markets. This new model of open innovation is particularly relevant in the renewable energy sector, in which innovation is becoming increasingly distributed and requires a collective effort from different institutions in an innovation ecosystem.

Jonathan Sims, Associate Program Chair

Jonathan’s research and teaching programs lie at the intersection of strategy, entrepreneurship, and technology innovation. Broadly, he is interested in how entrepreneurial companies develop and implement technology strategies in cooperation with external communities. His doctoral dissertation and continuing research use both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine how entrepreneurial firms work with open source software communities.
