Best International Paper prize for SBS academic

Dr Anna Spadavecchia, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation, has been awarded the ‘Best International Paper’ prize in the Management History Division at the Academy of Management Meeting, Chicago.

The paper identifies the mechanisms and agents of technological knowledge flow in a context of fragmented and nationalistic intellectual property rights. The findings show that inventors were important conduits of technological knowledge through their travels and networks.

The paper is based on research conducted during Anna’s visiting period at Harvard Business School as ‘Alfred D. Chandler Jr. International Visiting Scholar in Business History Program’ for which she received a British Academy – Leverhulme Trust grant.
