Juliette Koning serves as Professor of Business in Society and Head of the Organisation, Strategy & Entrepreneurship Department at Maastricht University's School of Business and Economics. With a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Amsterdam, she brings interdisciplinary expertise spanning organizational studies, entrepreneurship, and business ethics. Her academic career includes prior appointments at Oxford Brookes University, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Tilburg University, and Wageningen University.
Her research centers on two interconnected domains: (1) small business organizations and entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia—particularly focusing on ethnic Chinese owner-managers—and (2) security studies including maritime security in Indonesia and organizational approaches to security across South Africa, the UK, and the Netherlands. Koning employs extensive qualitative methodologies, often incorporating creative and arts-based approaches, with publications in top journals including Organization Studies, Journal of Business Ethics, and Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on identity construction within organizational contexts, ethical dimensions of business practices, and the intersection of cultural-religious frameworks with economic activities. Her work demonstrates increasing engagement with security governance and cross-border cooperation, particularly evident in her NWO-funded research on interorganizational crime control.
Koning actively contributes to academic discourse as Associate Editor of Human Relations and has secured significant research funding including an NWO SSH Open Competition grant for her project 'Cross-border Interorganizational Cooperation in Crime Control' investigating Euregional police cooperation in the Meuse-Rhine border region. Her methodological expertise in qualitative approaches extends to mentoring researchers through publications on autoethnography and ethnographic practice.
