Joris Knoben serves as a Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at Tilburg School of Economics and Management, Tilburg University, where he examines how firms' external environments—particularly business relations and networks—shape organizational behavior and performance outcomes. His teaching spans diverse audiences from BSc students to experienced professionals, covering inter-organizational collaboration, innovation/entrepreneurship, and quantitative research methods across business disciplines.
His research program centers on strategic network dynamics, investigating how startups navigate partnership formation amid expropriation risks, how communitarian contexts influence innovation-performance relationships, and how information accuracy differentials emerge in interorganizational networks. Methodologically rigorous, his work combines quantitative analysis with strategic management theory to address real-world challenges in business ecosystems.
Publication trends (2015-2022) reveal consistent focus on strategic alliances and network-based firm strategies, with articles in top journals like Research Policy and Academy of Management Journal exploring partnership durability, regulatory resistance mechanisms, and innovation ecosystems. His scholarship bridges theoretical depth with practical implications for entrepreneurial ventures and established firms navigating complex network environments.
