Kathleen Eisenhardt is the Stanford W. Ascherman M.D. Professor and a faculty member in the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. Her research focus is strategy and organization, especially in technology-based companies and high-velocity industries. She is currently studying the use of "simple rules" heuristics, strategic interaction in new markets and ecosystems, strategy making in marketplaces, and business model design. She often uses multi-case theory building methods and more recently machine learning for theory building.
Mohammed Bendaanane is a PhD Candidate in Entrepreneurship at TUM School of Management in Munich, Germany, part of the Entrepreneurship Research Institute and the Chair of Corporate Sustainability. His primary research interest centers on entrepreneurship as a tool to address social and environmental issues, particularly studying sustainable energy ventures in Kenya. In a second stream of research, he also studies entrepreneurship in institutionally challenging contexts, specifically in contexts of poverty and necessity.
