Research areas

Stephen Mark Rosenbaum is Associate Professor at the Department of Marketing & Management at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense. His research interests include international marketing channels, strategic alliances, and internationalisation processes, with particular interest in emerging economies. Furthermore, Stephen utilizes lab experiments to tap into prosocial norms, such as trust and cooperation, which can then be correlated with various macroeconomic variables. His latest stream of research examines the effect of leadership on group cooperation levels in controlled lab environments.

Research areas

My primary research field is social norms in an international context. Specifically, what makes people exhibit pro-social behaviour such as cooperation, trustworthiness, honesty, and so forth, and do such societal norms vary across countries? In a management context, we research a lot into how managers can engender the cooperation of their workers, with especial focus on the "dark side of leadership", where leaders act in their own interests at the expense of their workers. Our research in this area was recently featured in The Economist. In an international business setting. we examine how differential social norms may affect the stability and evolution of cross-border governance strcutures such as international joint ventures.
