Cutter Consortium welcomes Prof. Daniel Hjorth as a member of the Innovation practice team. Professor Daniel Hjorth is the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management Professor at the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy (MPP). Prior to this position he was Acting Professor at Växjö University (Sweden), a driving force of entrepreneurship research in Scandinavia.
At CBS, Hjorth is the research director of the LIKE-group (Leadership, Innovation, Knowledge, Entrepreneurship). LIKE-group conducts research and teaching in the spirit of the Department -- a multidisciplinary approach to learning and research. Hjorth teaches 'organizational creativity', general management, innovation management, and entrepreneurship courses for graduate students, MBAs and PhD students, and is the creator of courses and programs in entrepreneurship. An entrepreneurial culture provides a strong foundation for innovation. Says Hjorth, "Entrepreneurship is the process of creating opportunities out of occasions and realities out of opportunities. Innovation is driven by entrepreneurship."
Karen Coburn, President and CEO of Cutter Consortium says, "We are delighted that Prof. Hjorth has joined the Cutter Innovation team. Daniel is exceptionally skilled at helping organizations create an entrepreneurial culture, where innovation can thrive. We're very pleased to be able to share his perspective and experiences with our clients around the globe."
Hjorth's research is widely published in academic journals. One of his latest books is Rewriting Entrepreneurship -- For a New Perspective on Organizational Creativity, in which the conditions for the innovative organization are analyzed and described.
Hjorth has developed a 'performative' genre of research where he produces plays rather than academic papers. These plays are based on scripts and performed on stage so as to avoid staying in the text when communicating the relationship between research and managerial-organizational practice.
Hjorth did his PhD studies at Lund University (Sweden), Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, and University of Massachusetts, and earned his doctorate at Växjö University.
