Biography

Alexandra Steinberg is Assistant Professor of Management at the EM Lyon Business School. She teaches on both the Masters and IMBA programmes, on courses such as 'Project Management', 'International Human Management', 'Organisational Behaviour' as well as on the IMBA's 'Entrepreneurial Leadership Programme'. She also teaches and facilitates on the EM Lyon's tailor-made executive offerings.

Alexandra earned her Ph.D. in Organisational Social Psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the U.K., where she is also a Guest Lecturer. Her thesis explored knowledge dynamics in entrepreneurial networks after the dotcom crash in 2000. Looking at business networks through a social psychological lens, she developed a novel theoretical and methodological approach to capture the ways in which networks engender dynamics of social knowledge creation that inspire innovation and new forms of organising. She studied e-business entrepreneurship firms in London and examined specifically the ways in which two networks of firms innovated since the dotcom crash.
Alexandra is also member of the Editorial Advisory and Review Board of the International Journal of e-Business Management.

Alexandra brings a strong parallel background in resarch and consultancy. Over the past decade, she has worked as a Management Consultant both in Europe and overseas, focusing on strategic change and project management in large-scale IT-system transformation programmes. She has worked with Siemens Business Services in Germany and most recently with IBM Global Business Services in London (UK). She has an excellent track record of consultancy appointments and has helped many clients in public and private sector organisations to realise the benefits of complex change programmes.

Alexandra's research interests lie at the intersection of critical organisation studies, project management, innovation networks & entrepreneurship, the social construction of knowledge, and the social psychology of organisation. She explores new inroads to research methodology when wanting to describe the dynamics of emergent novelty.
