Between 2010-2020 members of the research group published in leading international academic outlets, such as Administrative Science Quarterly (VHB: A+), Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice (VHB: A), Journal of Business Venturing (VHB: A), and the Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Systems (VHB: A).
