Objectives of our research
Managing the use of natural resources is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The reliance on fossil fuels causes major disruptions of natural ecosystems, such as anthropogenic climate change, ocean acidification, and local air pollution.
Mitigating these damages and regenerating nature will require dramatic organizational, technological, and institutional change to steer towards a decarbonised, circular economy.
Recognizing that the supply, distribution, and use of resources plays a key role in the transition to a decarbonized and circular economy, our research aims to understand the drivers, dynamics, and consequences of organizational, technological, and institutional change in sectors including energy, mobility, construction, plastics, and electronics.
Our studies are driven by a strong interest in empirical phenomena and a detailed understanding of technologies, e.g., energy storage, smart grids, carbon caputure and storage, and recycling. Building upon an in-depth understanding of the research context, we seek to advance and test extant theories and derive implications for corporate managers and policy makers.
