Stephan Billinger
Stephan Billinger is a Professor with special responsibilities at the Strategic Organization Design Unit and the Danish Institute for Advanced Study. His research focuses on the causes and consequences of authority-granting across multiple levels of hierarchy. Using different methodological approaches, including experiments and in-depth case studies in firms, he examines hierarchical micro-mechanisms and their relevance for strategic management.
His work has appeared in Organization Science and the Journal of Experimental Economics, among others.
