Prof. dr. M. (Murat) Tarakci
Murat Tarakci is Professor of Innovation Strategy at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. An innovation strategy inspires, directs, and calibrates innovation activities to achieve the organization’s strategic-level goals and to tackle the world's problems.
Accordingly, Murat's research examines how organizations are structured, function, and evolve in response to their environments. At its core, his work also aims to create a positive impact by helping organizations better address societal grand challenges through a deeper understanding of their underlying dynamics and mechanisms. His research has been published in leading academic journals and been featured in popular practitioner outlets.
Murat recognizes that an organization’s ability to innovate for the greater good requires a collaborative effort. Accordingly, he regularly coaches executives and helps organizations with their innovation and strategy-related challenges.
