Rene Olie is Associate Professor of Strategic and International Management.

 

After obtaining a Master’s degree at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in organizational psychology, he received his PhD training at the University of Maastricht under

How does societal context affect the background and functioning of top management? How do multinationals companies and their subsidiaries deal with the international challenges of the 21st century, including knowledge management and innovation.
