Life

Christina Lubinski studied Business Economics, Economic History, and History at the Universities of Göttingen (Germany), Brussels (Université Libre, Belgium), and Geneva (Switzerland). [1] In 2009 the University of Göttingen awarded her a Ph.D. in business history for a thesis on family business in West Germany (Familienunternehmen in Westdeutschland. Corporate Governance und Gesellschafterkultur seit den 1960er Jahren) supervised by Hartmut Berghoff. Thereafter, she worked as a research fellow at the German Historical Institute in Washington DC until 2014. During this time she spent one year at Harvard Business School, where she was a Post-Doctoral Researcher (Newcomen Fellow) working with Geoffrey G. Jones. [2] Since 2014 Lubinski is a professor at Copenhagen Business School in Denmark. Between 2018 and 2019, she was a visiting professor for Clinical Entrepreneurial Studies at Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Research

Christina Lubinski uses historical methods and original sources to develop new perspectives on management and entrepreneurship. Her research falls into two broad areas. On the one hand, Lubinski researches the interplay between nationalism and competition in multinational companies. In particular, she is interested in German companies in India. [4] [5] [6] Her research has contributed to a new understanding of nationalism and its relation to economic decision-making by showing that companies actively use emerging nationalist thinking to delegitimize other companies to gain competitive advantages. [7] On the other hand, she is interested in historical methods in particular in entrepreneurship research. In this area of her research, Lubinski builds on her early works on family businesses. [8] [9] [10] She shows both empirically and theoretically, that historical methods can make a significant contribution to entrepreneurial research. [11] Together with R. Dan Wadhwani, she is a strong proponent of a revival of historical entrepreneurship research that builds upon the works of Arthur H. Cole and Joseph Schumpeter at the Research Center in Entrepreneurial History at Harvard University. [12]

Lubinski has won numerous awards for her research work, such as the 1st prize for business history for her dissertation awarded by the German Society for Business History in 2009 (Gesellschaft für Unternehmensgeschichte e.V.) [13] and the Henrietta Larson Award for the best article in Business History Review in 2015. [14]

The Research Center in Entrepreneurial History was a research center at Harvard University founded in 1948 with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Led by the American economic historian Arthur H. Cole, the research center attracted numerous scholars, with varied backgrounds and religious beliefs, in the field of business and economic history such as Joseph Schumpeter, Fritz Redlich, and Thomas C. Cochran. The center issued the first academic journal devoted to entrepreneurship named Explorations in Entrepreneurial History. During the time of its existence, the center attracted rising academic stars such as Alfred D. Chandler Jr., who would later become one of the seminal figures in the field of business history. Intellectually, the research center was influenced by the German Historical School and focused on the role of the entrepreneur in the economy. However, historical research on entrepreneurship ran into methodological roadblocks and the research interest moved towards industrial corporations and neoclassical economics. Today, the research center is seen as one of the first modern attempts to research entrepreneurship and understand the impact of entrepreneurial activities on the economy. While historical research on entrepreneurship has not found much resonance in scientific and public debates, recent decades have seen a revival of the theories of Joseph Schumpeter and more recently calls for a revival of research on entrepreneurial history.
