Hunter Centre lecturer awarded visiting scholar position at Harvard Business School

Dr Anna Spadavecchia, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, has been awarded the prestigious position of “Alfred D. Chandler Jr. International Visiting Scholar in Business History” at Harvard Business School.

Anna is spending the Fall Semester 2022 at Harvard undertaking research on international technology transfer in historical perspective. Her research focuses on international networks of independent inventors, entrepreneurs and large corporations, as well as the actors that enabled such networks. This research, which has also been awarded a BA/Leverhulme grant, is of great relevance to the increasingly disintegrated contemporary economic environment.

Harvard Business School has an outstanding tradition in Business History and academics there are world-leaders in the discipline. They adopt historical approaches, in their research and teaching, to subject areas such as Entrepreneurship, Strategy and International Business.
