The House of Innovation (HOI) at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) is inviting applications for the PhD program in Business Administration, specialization in Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Technology (DEIT).

Algorithms increasingly guide public sector decisions, yet their impact on fairness is often overlooked. Researchers from SSE have examined how public institutions may ignore the injustices of algorithmic decision-making. The research project has been selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) as one of the most promising projects this year.

In June 2024 the EU invited Ukraine to start formal membership negotiations. As part of the new Swedish strategy for recovery and reform cooperation with Ukraine, Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) has received a government grant from the Swedish Institute to launch a collaborative project with the Diplomatic Academy of Ukraine (DAU), a division of the Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

SSE has a long-standing commitment to both culture and wellbeing. These efforts are now becoming evident at the School’s startup incubator: more than half of the new ideas are focused around art and health.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way research is conducted, from generating new ideas to drafting papers. A new study published in the Journal of Management Inquiry explores the benefits and challenges of using AI in academic research. This curated discussion highlights that while AI has the potential to enhance or harm the research process, it also triggers us to redefine and reconsider what authorship is and how research is performed.

According to a new study published in the Journal of Business Research, letting go of initial ideas is essential for creating innovative product visions. Researchers studied 26 top management teams to explore how teams develop novel ideas and found that the ability to abandon earlier concepts is just as important as adding new ones.

The Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) recently strengthened its academic leadership by welcoming Professors Valentina Tartari and Stefan Haefliger to the House of Innovation. The Professorial Installation Ceremony at Stockholm City Hall, which also celebrated the graduation of eight PhD scholars, highlighted SSE’s commitment to advancing research that bridges academia, industry, and societal impact.

A new study explores how platform thinking and collaborative inquiry can address common challenges in innovation management, creating a dynamic, co-creative research environment. Published in the European Journal of Innovation Management, this study showcases a novel approach that integrates academic and practical applications to foster impactful change in organizations.

A new study published in Information and Organization reveals that Swedish healthcare professionals frequently refrained from using data on patient wait times, which was meant to improve service efficiency. This research highlights the strategic ignorance and lack of engagement with digital technology introduced with the aim of improving organizational learning, explaining why such technology initiatives often fail to accomplish their official aims.

New research published in the Journal of Corporate Finance examines the impact of MiFID II's unbundling of research and execution costs on mutual fund investors, finding that investors did not significantly benefit from this regulatory change. This study uses early data from Sweden and highlights that unbundling did not lead to lower costs or improved fund performance for investors.
