Krijn Turkenburg

Krijn Turkenburg serves as an Assistant Professor within the Department of Management and Organisation at the School of Business and Economics, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Previously, he completed doctoral studies at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, establishing his foundation in organizational research before joining VU.

His research centers on social enterprise dynamics within the social economy, with particular emphasis on multimodality as a framework for analyzing organizational stigma and moralization. Turkenburg investigates how social entrepreneurs navigate societal taboos in sectors like menstrual products, employing interdisciplinary approaches that bridge business ethics and sociological theory to examine organizational forms and systemic barriers.

His 2024 Journal of Management Studies publication exemplifies this focus, revealing how multimodal strategies enable social enterprises to confront stigma in the menstrual products industry. This work establishes connections between moralization processes, organizational innovation, and social entrepreneurship within stigmatized markets, contributing to broader discourse on ethical business models.
