𝗔 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗹. Germany is preparing a new Startup and Scaleup Strategy. This is good news – after the first attempt under the previous coalition, it is essential that the new government continues this effort. But we must also learn from the shortcomings of the last version. Together with Alexander Brem, in 2023, I analyzed the first strategy in our paper published in the Journal of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy ("Supporting innovation and growth through entrepreneurship: reflections on the German Federal Government’s startup strategy”): https://lnkd.in/ewit-c4h Three lessons remain highly relevant today: 𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀. Startups succeed when networks, talent, finance, and institutions work together. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. 𝟮. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀. Germany is a federal state. In recent years, the federal government has shifted responsibility for university startup support to the states, but they have not fully compensated. Startup Factories are valuable, but without entrepreneurship education and support across universities, their impact will remain symbolic. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀. 𝟯. 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀. The last strategy lacked this, turning into a list of aspirations rather than a driver of change. 𝗞𝗣𝗜𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀; 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆. The public consultation by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is open until September 8: https://lnkd.in/eBDcT7uB I have already contributed – and I strongly encourage everyone engaged in entrepreneurship and innovation to do the same.

🌟 Given the increasing availability of decentralized #EO data archives with different data modalities (which can be unshared due to commercial concerns, legal regulations, and privacy), the development of #federatedlearning frameworks for #EO is crucial. Through the Phd studies of Barış Büyüktaş, we are committed to support this research and development in remote sensing. In this line, our recent paper 'A Multi-Modal Federated Learning Framework for Remote Sensing Image Classification' has been recently published at the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. 📜 Paper: https://lnkd.in/d8k2qcEd 🛠️ Code: https://lnkd.in/dyuDFWxC Congrats Barış Büyüktaş and many thanks to Gencer Sümbül for the excellent collaboration 🌟

Excited to share our new paper in Organization Science: "Designing Institutions for Applied Impact: Lessons from Engineering for Organizational Research" Huge thanks to Stephen Zhang and the editorial team for inviting us to contribute to this Crossroads collection on making organizational research more applied and impactful. It's been a privilege to be part of this important conversation alongside stellar colleagues. Grateful to Dr. Liz Gerber for being an amazing co-author on this journey—your interdisciplinary perspective spanning mechanical engineering, HCI, and organizational studies made this work possible. Yesterday, it was a pleasure to join Liz in person for a conversation about this piece in the Work, Technology and Organizations group alongside Bob Sutton and Pamela Hinds. Really great conversation about these important issues and how research is evolving, our moral obligations when doing field work, and how increasing scrutiny on the public value of research universities and the emerging use of AI is affecting all of this. Our core argument: The gap between research and practice isn't just about individual motivation—it's about institutional design. While organizational research privileges theoretical novelty, engineering fields have built structures that legitimize validated, usable contributions. We can learn from them. We identify three structural levers for change: Cognitive: Broaden what counts as knowledge to include validated solutions Normative: Value reproducibility and utility alongside theoretical elegance Regulative: Support diverse formats (implementation briefs, design notes, replication studies) The path forward isn't about lowering standards—it's about recognizing different forms of rigor and making applied work both feasible and legitimate. I encourage you to read the entire Crossroads collection—Zhang and Ertug's framing piece along with contributions from Croson and Croson, Berry, and Yoeli and Rand. Together, they offer a comprehensive vision for organizational research as an applied science. Special thanks to Daniel Armanios, Maria Yang, Warren Seering, and Kathleen Eisenhardt for invaluable feedback along the way, for inspiring us with your own work that it's possible to have both intellectual rigor and applied relevance, and to the editorial team for shepherding this project. Link: https://lnkd.in/gr7uDAsV Looking forward to the conversation about how we can redesign our institutions to serve both scholarly rigor and societal impact. #OrganizationalResearch #AcademicPublishing #AppliedScience
