Overview of scientific activities and publications in the field of (open)<br />
innovation, technology management, and entrepreneurship<br />
General description of research activities<br />
September 1998-August 2002<br />
During her PhD period at Maastricht University <strong>Nadine</strong> worked on the completion of her thesis and<br />
the various publications resulting from this research. Her PhD thesis is focused on the collaborative<br />
relationships between large pharmaceutical companies and entrepreneurial biotechnology firms<br />
aimed at joint innovation and technology development. Her thesis is largely based on the MERIT-<br />
Cooperative Agreements and Technology Indicators (MERIT-CATI) database and the econometric<br />
analysis of these longitudinal data. The MERIT-CATI database holds information concerning the<br />
cooperative innovation strategies of small entrepreneurial firms and traditional companies in<br />
innovative sectors of industry. During her years as a PhD Student <strong>Nadine</strong> regularly participated in<br />
both internally taught and externally provided courses on several topics, such as advanced<br />
quantitative research methods (e.g. methodology courses of the Dutch Association for Research in<br />
Business, NOBO).<br />
September 2002-August 2004<br />
In her function as Post-Doc Researcher at UNU-MERIT <strong>Nadine</strong> published several articles on the<br />
(open) innovation and technology strategy of both large companies and small, entrepreneurial hightech<br />
companies in well-established international journals. The main component of her work was<br />
related to the attraction of external project financing. As a result of her endeavors in this respect<br />
<strong>Nadine</strong> was able to work on the Science, Technologies, and Innovation-Network Indicators (STI-NET)<br />
project for two years. This project was financed by the European Commission (Contract HPV2-<br />
CT2001-00014) within the 'Improving Human Potential and Socio-Economic Knowledge Base'<br />
program. The project was headed by Prof. Dr. F. Malerba, Centre for Research on Innovation and<br />
Internationalization (CESPRI), Bocconi University, Milan (IT) and was aimed at the definition of<br />
network indicators to measure the innovativeness and collaborative character of European<br />
innovation networks and the empirical testing of these indicators in high-tech sectors. For the benefit<br />
of this research <strong>Nadine</strong> was regularly working in Milan.<br />
September 2004-February 2007<br />
In her role as Assistant Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology <strong>Nadine</strong> worked on several<br />
international publications in the field of (open) innovation, technology management, and<br />
entrepreneurship. Besides publishing in internationally acclaimed journals <strong>Nadine</strong> was also<br />
responsible for attracting external financing. In this respect <strong>Nadine</strong> took part in several scientific<br />
projects. Within the Transforum Agro en Groen (TAG) project, financed by the Dutch Ministry of<br />
Agriculture, <strong>Nadine</strong> was involved in the setting-up and writing-up of several case studies in the field<br />
of sustainable innovation and entrepreneurship in the Dutch agricultural and horticultural sectors.<br />
Jointly with Prof. Dr. A-P. de Man of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (NL) <strong>Nadine</strong> also completed a<br />
book based on multiple case studies for the benefit of the Dutch Stichting Management Studies<br />
6
(SMS). The case studies deal with alliance governance and the balance between trust and control in<br />
collaborative relations aimed at joint innovation. The case studies and interviews were positioned in<br />
the context of large innovative companies such as Philips and small entrepreneurial firms such as<br />
Keerpunt. Several international publications resulted from this research (see list of publications) and<br />
the resulting book was nominated for the ‘Management Book of the Year’ award in 2006.<br />
March 2007-October 2009<br />
As Senior Strategy Advisor and Project Leader at Atos-KPMG Consultancy <strong>Nadine</strong> was involved in a<br />
large number of strategic innovation projects for the benefit of several large companies and<br />
innovative entrepreneurial firms. Besides writing several practice-oriented articles and white papers<br />
for the purpose of acquisition <strong>Nadine</strong> also continued working on her academic, international<br />
publications during this time. These publications mainly deal with (open) innovation and alliances<br />
and are based on econometric analysis as well as case studies. In 2009 <strong>Nadine</strong> was part of a selective<br />
think-tank of fifty Atos Origin employees holding a PhD degree who served as strategic advisors to<br />
the CEO of Atos Origin Global in Paris. This think-tank wrote and presented their advice on the<br />
strategy to follow during and after the crisis. To prepare this advice <strong>Nadine</strong> carried out large-scale<br />
research on several relevant strategic themes (such as collaboration with innovative, entrepreneurial<br />
firms) within different international teams formed on the basis of these themes.<br />
November 2009-Current<br />
In her function of Assistant Professor at Hasselt University <strong>Nadine</strong> is involved in the definition and<br />
implementation of scientific research in the field of (open) innovation strategy, technology<br />
management, and entrepreneurial firms. This research is based on econometric analysis of large<br />
datasets (e.g. alliances, patents, M&As, open innovation projects, licensing activities, etc.).<br />
Furthermore, <strong>Nadine</strong> carries out case study research, such as an extensive case study describing the<br />
success of innovation ecosystem orchestrator IMEC in Leuven (BE). Several international publications<br />
in renowned journals have resulted from these research activities (see list of publications). <strong>Nadine</strong> is<br />
also dedicated to attracting external financing through, for example, FP7 proposals, TEMPUS<br />
applications, FWO research projects, and NSFC scholarships. Currently, in collaboration with Prof. Dr.<br />
W. Vanhaverbeke, she is working on an externally funded project entitled: “Reverse globalization of<br />
innovation activities and organization". This project is based on a number of case studies at large<br />
multinationals and investigates the effects of Chinese innovative activities on corporate innovation<br />
strategies. The research is part of a series of studies initiated by Prof. Dr. G. Yip, CEIBS, Shanghai (Ch).<br />

Overview of teaching activities in the field of (open) innovation, technology<br />
management, and entrepreneurship<br />
Teaching activities<br />
<strong>Nadine</strong> has gained experience in teaching (open) innovation strategy, technology management, and<br />
entrepreneurship courses at three different universities. She mainly teaches in English (certified). At<br />
all of these universities <strong>Nadine</strong> also served/serves as Master thesis supervisor. An overview of the<br />
courses <strong>Nadine</strong> has developed and taught over the past years can be found below.<br />
September 1998-August 2002<br />
As PhD Student at Maastricht University <strong>Nadine</strong> was teaching courses that were coordinated by staff<br />
members. For four years she was responsible for six tutorships per year. A tutorship boils down to<br />
the following: A tutor facilitates the learning process of a group of approximately ten students for<br />
two times two hours per week during a period of six weeks. Typically, <strong>Nadine</strong> was actively involved in<br />
two courses each year (she would then take up four tutorships in one course and two tutorships in<br />
the other course). On the basis of this involvement she was teaching the following courses:<br />
International Business Strategy (Bachelor)<br />
European Business Strategy (Bachelor)<br />
International Business Research Methods (Bachelor)<br />
Alliances and Mergers and Acquisitions (Master)<br />
These courses were all grounded in a problem-based learning approach where students work in<br />
groups on solving a set of relevant problems. As a tutor <strong>Nadine</strong> provided these groups of students<br />
with her guidance, feedback, and expertise.<br />
As PhD student <strong>Nadine</strong> was also actively involved in post-doctoral study programs at Maastricht<br />
University. In her final years as a PhD student <strong>Nadine</strong> lectured about alliances, (open) innovation<br />
networks, and entrepreneurship to students (financial managers) of the post-doctoral chartered<br />
accounting program.<br />
September 2004-February 2007<br />
In her function of Assistant Professor at the TUE <strong>Nadine</strong> was responsible for teaching, designing, and<br />
coordinating courses in the field of (open) innovation management, technology management, and<br />
entrepreneurship. Within the innovation management program she was the coordinator of the<br />
following courses:<br />
Strategy and Organization for Mathematics and Computer Science (Bachelor)<br />
International Comparative Management (Master)<br />
14
Entrepreneurial Strategy (Master)<br />
Within the teaching tradition of the TUE these courses were based on interactive lectures. Each of<br />
these courses was taught on a yearly basis where <strong>Nadine</strong> was teaching for three hours per course<br />
each week during a semester. For each course <strong>Nadine</strong> wrote her own teaching materials. Students<br />
were involved in the lectures by problem statements and active stimulation of discussions. During<br />
her employment at the TUE <strong>Nadine</strong> was also teaching (open) innovation management and<br />
entrepreneurship at the University of Liege (BE). On a yearly basis she taught a series of lectures<br />
about the external technological knowledge acquisition strategies of small entrepreneurial high-tech<br />
firms at this university.<br />
November 2009-Current<br />
In her role as Assistant Professor at Hasselt University <strong>Nadine</strong> designs, teaches, and coordinates<br />
several courses in the fields of (open) innovation strategy and technology management. <strong>Nadine</strong><br />
serves as designer/coordinator of the following courses at Master program level:<br />
Innovation and Value Chain Management<br />
This course is based on a set of interactive lectures and guest lectures of three hours each week<br />
during the course of a semester. Every week <strong>Nadine</strong> provides an introductory lecture on the basis of<br />
her own teaching materials after which she facilitates interactive case-solving sessions with groups of<br />
students.<br />
Cases in Technology, Innovation, and Sustainability Management<br />
This course focuses on applied science where managers of entrepreneurial high-tech firms present a<br />
real-life case in the fields of technology management or innovation management where groups of<br />
students work on during the course of a semester. By means of weekly supervision sessions <strong>Nadine</strong><br />
helps these students come up with solutions that add value to both science and to the companies<br />

Business Strategy<br />
This course is based on a set of interactive lectures (three hours per week during a semester). Every<br />
week <strong>Nadine</strong> illustrates a strategic concept by means of her scientific knowledge and practical<br />
business experience. In light of the experience of the international student group and their different<br />
cultural backgrounds the concept is further discussed. Groups of students then present a relevant<br />
business case and provide their answers to questions posed in advance. This presentation is<br />
discussed by discussants whose task it is to act as critics of the solutions presented.<br />
