I love to teach. I use a mixture of lectures, experiential learning exercises and cases, small group work, paper assignments and class presentations to foster learning. My students have been describing my courses as very interesting and interactive, always linking theoretical concepts with examples from practice, and my teaching style as passionate, engaged and clear. Because of my engagement in the business community, my teaching has a strong grounding in organizational life. I have always been committed to the continuous improvement of all my courses. My student evaluations demonstrate a consistently high rating of course content and teaching quality. I have been facilitating numerous bachelor’s and master’s theses, of which the latter have been awarded several times the VKW Limburg (employers’ organization) prize for best thesis in collaboration with a local company.

Within the collaboration RCEF and employers’ organization VKW Limburg, we have developed several practice-close, collaborative research projects in which we supported many family businesses to rise to various professionalization challenges (governance, organizational learning, radical innovation, nonfamily management) while at the same time collecting otherwise difficult-to-obtain data for research purposes. In the framework of this collaboration, I have led numerous workshops, seminars, and learning groups with entrepreneurs and managers as well as conducted various in-depth interviews and large-scale surveys, leading to four books, several papers, panel discussions and large family business events.

I have reviewed for journals such as Academy of Management Learning & Education, Organization Studies, Corporate Governance: An International Review, Journal of Cooperative Organization and Management, Family Business Review, Journal of Family Business Strategy, Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, Production Planning & Control, Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, among others. In 2015, I received the Outstanding Contribution in Reviewing award from the Journal of Family Business Strategy. I also review annually for conferences such as IFERA, EURAM, and US Academy of Management.
