Stefan Breet
Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship
I study how workplace networks shape innovation, and help organizations act on what those networks reveal.
I am particularly interested in the role that workplace social networks play in the generation and implementation of innovative ideas. With my research I want to improve our theoretical understanding of corporate entrepreneurship and provide practical recommendations that help both employees and organizations to become more entrepreneurial.
