About Sylvia Hubner-Benz
Sylvia Hubner-Benz holds the professorship of international management at Paderborn University since July 2023. After she had completed her studies at the Ludwigs-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU), and her doctorate at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (RPTU), she was a post-doc and project leader at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), a postdoctoral fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and then an assistant professor of management at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy (unibz).
I enjoy being inspired by researchers in other fields. I love combining different perspectives for new insights. I also enjoy discussing with practitioners not only to help them learn from research but also to better understand their situations and make sure I focus on relevant research topics.
Research
Research Interests
Sylvia Hubner-Benz investigates international management focusing on effects of cross-cultural differences, cultural diversity, and team international dispersion, specifically their effects on entrepreneurial and innovation behaviors. Her research projects are interdisciplinary, at the intersection of international management, organizational behavior, entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, HRM, and HCI, applying qualitative and quantitative methods, e.g., explorative interviews, observations, experiments, and surveys. Her research has been published in respected international journals, e.g., Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Personnel Psychology, Small Business Economics, and Journal of International Management.
Publications
Selected Publications
My favorite task is supervising student projects and theses. I love seeing when they have an "AHA-moment" or develop interesting ideas.
