Yassine Cohen is a Researcher affiliated with the School of Business and Management at Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on knowledge management within service outsourcing contexts, particularly exploring how learning capabilities and regulatory frameworks like GDPR influence relational performance. He investigates absorptive capacity theories, combining dynamic capability and relational learning perspectives to analyze client-supplier dyads.

Research Interests: His work centers on organizational knowledge processing, strategic alliances, and inter-organizational relationships. Key themes include the mediating role of absorptive capacity in improving outsourcing relationships, the impact of environmental factors on knowledge transfer, and GDPR implications for data-sensitive sectors.

Contributions: Cohen’s research bridges theoretical gaps by empirically testing Zahra and George’s (2002) absorptive capacity model in dyadic learning contexts. His findings aim to guide managers in optimizing collaborative relationships and offer insights into regulatory challenges in globalized knowledge-sharing ecosystems.
