==Professional Background==
⚫
His most significant contributions are at the intersection of [[international business]], [[innovation]], and [[R&D Management]]. With collaborator [[Oliver Gassmann]], he pioneered a behavioral model of organizational evolution of global R&D organization. This model contends that firms follow a limited number of strategic paths when internationalizing R&D activities, requiring internal actors ([[business unit]]s and [[R&D]] centers) to behave, collaborate and communicate in ways commensurate with the complexity and maturity of the global R&D organization. Later, he and Gassmann also formulated a [[supply-and-demand]] model for innovation globalization, which suggests that global R&D organization is strongly influenced by two principal external drivers, namely access to [[markets]] and access to [[technology]]. In managerial writings, he outlined support mechanisms appropriate to lead global innovation teams within such R&D organizations. More recently, von Zedtwitz focuses on [[reverse innovation]] and innovation in [[emerging countries]], especially [[China]]. He also contributed to the theory of [[global R&D]] flows and [[incubator]] management.
