Annika Ehlers is a PhD Candidate at the Centre for Family Entrepreneurship and Ownership (CeFEO) within the Jönköping International Business School at Jönköping University. Currently on leave of absence, she maintains active research engagement with contact details including email annika.ehlers@ju.se and office room B6061C. Her academic profile bridges family business dynamics and digital innovation, reflecting CeFEO's mission to advance knowledge in entrepreneurial ownership structures.
Her research spans family business strategy, media digital transformation, and location-based services across tourism and journalism contexts. Key interests include strategic implementation differences in family firms, job seeker motivations toward family employers, and technological opportunity recognition in regional media. This interdisciplinary focus reveals consistent patterns in organizational behavior during digital disruption, particularly examining how legacy media organizations adopt localization technologies and how family enterprises navigate strategic decision-making.
Analysis of her publication trajectory shows evolving emphasis from foundational media management (2013-2017) toward specialized family business applications (2020-2025). Recent work demonstrates sophisticated integration of consumer behavior theory with practical technology implementation, especially in location-based services for tourism and journalism. Her 2025 strategy implementation framework for family firms represents a significant theoretical contribution addressing the 'implementation gap' unique to family enterprises.
As part of CeFEO's research ecosystem, Ehlers contributes to JIBS's AACSB/EQUIS-accredited environment through collaborative projects examining ownership dynamics in entrepreneurial contexts. Her work supports the center's strategic focus on sustainable family enterprise development while addressing contemporary challenges in digital media transformation.
