About
Tommy Roxenhall serves as Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor at Mid Sweden University's Department of Economics, Geography, Law and Tourism (EJT) in Sundsvall. He is actively affiliated with the Center for Research on Economic Relations (CER), where his work focuses on business network dynamics and strategic innovation.
His research centers on business networks, organizational commitment, and innovation processes, with particular emphasis on how network structure influences business model innovation and value creation. Roxenhall's work bridges theoretical network analysis with practical applications in real estate, sponsorship relationships, and strategic alliances, examining how commitment mechanisms (affective, calculative, normative) drive innovation outcomes in complex network environments.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on network structure as a critical factor in business innovation, with increasing attention to real estate business models and tenant-driven innovation since 2015. His methodological approach combines qualitative case studies with quantitative network analysis across Swedish and international business contexts.
Roxenhall actively contributes to regional development through strategic network design research, particularly examining how commitment mechanisms can be engineered to strengthen regional innovation systems. His work demonstrates sustained engagement with both academic theory and practical business applications through extensive conference participation and policy-oriented research reports.
