About Matthias Kipping
My research focuses on the international transfer of management knowledge with a particular interest in the evolution and role of management consulting firms and management education. I have studied the influence of U.S. American management models in Europe and Japan and the role of consultants in spreading these models. Recently I have started a new research project, which looks at the long-term economic and social effect of takeovers on the acquired company and its local and regional environment.
