Waldemar Kremser
Waldemar is full professor at the Institut for Strategic Management at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz (Austria). In his research, he combines a practice-perspective on roles and routines with insights from complexity theory and organization design. He is most interested in new forms of organizing, self‐reinforcing dynamics and radical innovations. In exploring these phenomena empirically, he combines ethnographic research with the analysis of various forms of digital trace data. His work has been published in Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, MIS Quarterly, Research in the Sociology of Organizations, amongst others. For his dissertation, he has received the prestigious Ernst‐Reuter Prize of Freie Universität Berlin.
