His current research focus, therefore, lays on Business Model Innovation in the context of circular economy, product-service-systems and digitalization through collaboration. Hereby, he engages engineering methods such as system of systems engineering and modeling approaches. Besides the development of new business models, methods and tools to support start-ups and SMEs, the contextual factors are of high relevance within his research.
