ABOUT US

The Chair of Corporate Strategy & Innovation is a research laboratory established at EPFL in 2003 to promote scholarship in the area of technology and innovation management (TIM).  CSI is focused on issues of corporate strategy and innovation, or how large, multi-business firms acquire and react to new technologies.

These new technologies can be developed within the firm, come from a startup venture or competitor, or come from a source completely external to the firm and its market.  The research in CSI thus is built around three interrelated themes: (1) technological entry, product development, and "creative destruction;" (2) alliances and "open innovation" within the value network and (3) Internet strategy of entrants and incumbents.

The mission of CSI is to be an internationally recognized center of excellence in research, doctoral training, pedagogy, and case development in the TIM field.
