The Amsterdam Business School’s Strategy & Marketing Section has a
vacancy for:
PhD position in Marketing
1.0 FTE (38 hours per week)
vacancy number W11-055
In today’s competitive environment, innovation and new products are
essential. Radical innovation is particularly key for the growth and
long term success of firms. So far, research on radical innovation in
marketing has mainly focused on examining the drivers of radical
innovation. In this project, using patent data, we plan to look at the
overall innovation portfolio including both radical and incremental to
determine the configurations that garner superior performance in various
competitive and market conditions. Certain theories indicate that in
fact a balance of radical and incremental innovation may provide the
greatest gains in performance and competitive advantage yet no research
has tested this notion. In addition, the way in which incremental and
radical innovation are linked and the role of marketing in this
interface have not been addressed in research. The research will
involve the analysis of data gathered from multiple sources including
CRSP and patent data bases. Extensive preparation of patent data will be
necessary to build the metrics required. Other primary data may also be
gathered through firm-level surveys as necessary.
Requirements
* Master’s (MA, MSc or /drs/) in any relevant area with interest in
marketing and innovation
* strong quantitative skills (modeling, data preparation, and analysis)
* survey skills, measure development and scale analysis skills are
preferred
* interest (and preferably experience) in marketing, innovation and
new products issues at the organisation level
* mastery of both written and spoken English
* excellent presentation skills
