Overview
Christiane Bode is an Assistant Professor of Strategy. Her research focuses on the micro-processes underlying the corporate social engagement of firms. Two broad questions shape her research agenda. First she seeks to answer how employees acting as entrepreneurs drive the corporate social engagement of firms and second, she analyzes how firms can use the preferences of employees to create a strategic link between such engagement and firm performance. In recent work, she has also begun to focus more broadly on firm’s non-market strategies in particular in emerging markets by examining for example how different firms engage with the newly implemented CSR law in India.
In line with these research interest, she has also developed several teaching cases which have been granted awards by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) and the OIKOS foundation. She serves on the editorial review board of Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science and Organisation & Environment.
Christiane joined from Bocconi University, where she was an Assistant Professor of Strategy. Prior to that she received by BA in Economics and Psychology from New York University (NYU) and she holds an MSc in International Relations from the London School of Economics (LSE) and PhD in Strategy from INSEAD.
