Catherine Magelssen
Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship
BS (UC Berkeley) PhD (Rutgers)
Dr Catherine Magelssen studies multinational firm strategy, with particular interests in intra-firm structure, internal versus external firm contracting relationships, and firm response to environmental shocks. Her research examines the different ways in which multinational firms organize and allocate ownership rights to their strategic assets inside the firm and the implications for firm knowledge sharing and innovation. A related stream of research focuses on firm contracting and understanding the differences between internal and external contracting.
Dr Magelssen is an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School. She holds a PhD from Rutgers University and a BS from the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley. Prior to joining academia, she worked as an economic consultant where she managed global transfer pricing projects, advised multinational firms on the structuring of intra-firm relationships, valued intangible assets, and helped firms integrate global operations post-acquisition.
