Research
Short Research Statement
Focus I am an organizational theorist working at the intersection of innovation, networks and categories studies. My goal is to understand the
social determinants of novel outcomes, such as innovative products
or new artistic canons.
Analytical approach Throughout my work I emphasize the interrelationship of individuals,
groups and social structures and try to detail the causal mechanisms
through which organizational and social facts are brought about.
Streams of research To date, I have three interrelated streams of research: (i) studies
of social structure of collaboration and novelty emergence, where I
see networks and dyads not only as a ‘stimulus’ for creativity but
also as the product of actors’ efforts to pursue innovative outcomes;
(ii) studies of social valuation, categorisation and novelty emergence,
where I investigate the social construction of novelty(iii) studies of
labour mobility in creative and entrepreneurial settings, where I use
social identity and status arguments to investigate the antecedents
and organisational effects of mobility processes.
