Open Science Talk by Prof. Don Bergh (pre-announcement)
UM is on a mission to become a leading example in the Open Science movement, which aims to make research papers, data, methods, etc. open to anyone so we can all benefit. With the Open Science Talks, the Open Science Community of UM, in collaboration with the Community for Data-Driven Initiatives (CDDI), will help you find out more about these topics and discover how your colleagues have applied Open Science to their research. These lectures are a perfect chance to find inspiration in the work of others! Coffee/tea and cookies will be waiting for you!
For this Open Science Talk, on May 7th 2025 at 12:00, we’ve invited Donald D. Bergh (PhD, University of Colorado Boulder) who is the Louis D. Beaumont Chair of Business Administration and professor of management at the Daniels College of Business, University of Denver.
Bergh comes most recently from Purdue University’s Krannert Graduate School of Business. He had previously served at Cornell University’s Statler School of Hospitality and The Pennsylvania State University’s Smeal College of Business. He also serves as visiting Lecturer at University College Dublin (Ireland) and visiting Professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam (The Netherlands).
His research interests lie primarily in corporate strategy (diversification, divestitures, acquisitions) and research methodology where his work has appeared in many of the management field’s highest rated academic journals, including the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ), the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ), Organization Science (OS), Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS), Journal of Management (JOM), the Journal of Management Studies (JMS), Organizational Research Methods (ORM), Strategic Organization (SO) and the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal (SEJ), among others.
