BSc Economics (University College London)
PhD (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology)

Paulina is module leader and teaches in the following courses:

International Business Theories (MSc International Business)

Knowledge and Innovation Systems (MSc International Business)

Knowledge, Learning and Global Business (BSc Business Management)

Intermediate Business Economics (BSc Business Management)

I am interested in supervising PhDs that examine any of the following areas:

• The intersection between globalisation, technological innovation and new organisational forms.
• International technology transfers and knowledge flows in mutinational corporations and Global Value Chains.
• The impact of FDI and global value chains on national systems of production and innovation..  

 

I prefer to supervise qualitative research methods.

Paulina has two main areas of research interest:

• The relationship between globalization, the rise of new organizational forms and international knowledge flows; comparative studies of national institutions such as national innovation and business system; as well as the impact of foreign direct investment and global value networks on national systems of production and innovation.
• The impact of national institutions (e.g. corporate governance, science and technology systems) on the emergence of new areas of science and technology. Paulina is currently doing research on industry-academic links in the area of stem cells and is a member of the Birmingham University Stem Cell Network.
