Scientific work edit
Von Zedtwitz's work is at the intersection of international business, innovation, and R&D Management. With collaborator Oliver Gassmann, he proposed a widely used behavioral model of evolution of global R&D organization based on internal organizational tension.[1][2] He and Gassmann also formulated a supply-and-demand model for innovation globalization based external drivers, namely access to markets and access to technology.[3] In managerial writings,[4] he outlined support mechanisms appropriate to lead global innovation teams within such R&D organizations.[5]
Early to study R&D in China,[6] he co-developed theory of reverse innovation and innovation in emerging countries,[7] both inbound R&D investments and management of innovation in China and outbound internationalization of R&D by Chinese firms. In this context, he refined organizational growth models for individual units as well as networks of units. He also contributed to the theory of global R&D flows, pharmaceutical innovation, and business incubator management.[8]
