The Faculty of Economics and Business offers an inspiring study and working environment for students and employees. International accreditation enables the Faculty to assess performance against the highest international standards. It also creates an exciting environment of continuous improvement. FEB's programmes, academic staff and research do well on various excellence ranking lists.

FEBRI, the graduate school and research institute of the Faculty of Economics and Business has one PhD position in the field of Decision Biases in Family Firms Internationalization available.

Project description

Family firms are vulnerable to many decision biases that deviate their internationalization strategies from rational economic models. One such bias is bifurcation bias, which refers to the asymmetric treatment of family and non-family assets within a firm. Bias can also be triggered by the framing approach (e.g., aggregation rules, gain versus loss framing) that family firms use to evaluate investment outcomes. The project aims to explore how decision biases impact family firms' internationalization, exploring heterogeneity among family firms and between family and non-family firms.

The PhD position is embedded in the research programme Global Economics and Management of FEB's Research Institute. The project will be supervised by Prof. Rian Drogendijk, Dr Maria Cristina Sestu, and Dr Lipeng (Gary) Ge.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is ambitious, highly motivated and wishes to make a career in research. You have has a thorough training in research skills, speaks and writes English fluently and has obtained excellent results in the Master phase.

The PhD candidate should have a background (MSc, research master) in International Business, Strategic Management, Organizational Behaviour or other relevant discipline.
