Robin Teigland
Associate Professor, Stockholm School of Economics
I am an Associate Professor at the Center for Strategy and Competitiveness at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) in Sweden. For more than ten years, I have researched and lectured on social networks and their relationship with strategy and performance. In November 2008, I was awarded the "Researcher of the Year - 2008" Award from SSE for my research in this area.
Prior to completing my doctoral thesis on knowledge networking at the Institute of International Business at SSE, I worked as a consultant for McKinsey & Company in Stockholm. Additionally, I hold a B.A. in Economics with distinction from Stanford University, an M.B.A. from The Wharton School, and an M.A. in International Studies from the University of Pennsylvania.
Currently, I am working in several areas within virtual worlds, such as Second Life. For example, I am working with Brian Donnellan and Johan Gorecki at the National University of Ireland - Galway on a project with IBM for IRCSET (the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology) in which we are developing a "virtual innovation system". In addition, I am experimenting with Steve Mahaley, the Director of Learning Technology at Duke CE, with the use of virtual worlds in business education. Here is our presentation: "Stepping into the Internet: Innovating Business Education with Second Life".
In November 2008, I won the "Researcher of the Year - 2008" Award at the Stockholm School of Economics. Here is Karinda making a presentation to the Corporate Partners at the Annual Fundraising Event in connection with the award ceremony.
