Max von Zedtwitz

Von Zedtwitz's work is at the intersection of international business, innovation, and R&D Management. With collaborator Oliver Gassmann, he proposed a widely used behavioral model of evolution of global R&D organization based on internal organizational tension.{{cite journal | last1 = Niosi | year = 1999 | title = The Internationalization of Industrial R&D: From Technology Transfer to the Learning Organization | journal = Research Policy | volume = 28 | issue = 2–3| pages = 107–118 }}Criscuolo and Narula (2005) Using Multi-Hub Structures for International R&D. Management International Review 47, 5, 639-660 He and Gassmann also formulated a supply-and-demand model for innovation globalization based external drivers, namely access to markets and access to technology.Gammeltoft (2006) Internationalisation of R&D: trends, drivers, and managerial challenges. Int'l Journal of Technology and Globalisation, 2, 1/2, 177-199 In managerial writings,{{cite book|title=Managing Global Innovation: Uncovering the Secrets of Future Competitiveness|first1=search|last1=results|first2=Oliver|last2=Gassmann|first3=Maximilian von|last3=Zedtwitz|date=16 April 2008|publisher=Springer|isbn = 978-3540254416}} he outlined support mechanisms appropriate to lead global innovation teams within such R&D organizations.Medcof (2009) Book Reviews. R&D Management 39, 2, 225-226.

Early to study R&D in China,"Research in China", The New York Times, C1 & C4, 13 Sept. 2004 he co-developed theory of reverse innovation and innovation in emerging countries,{{cite news|url=http://www.economist.com/node/10053234|title=Imitate or die|newspaper=The Economist|date=2007-11-08}} both inbound R&D investments and management of innovation in China and outbound internationalization of R&D by Chinese firms. In this context, he refined organizational growth models for individual units as well as networks of units. He also contributed to the theory of global R&D flows, pharmaceutical innovation, and business incubator management.{{cite web|url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=hpfpuPcAAAAJ|title=Max von Zedtwitz - Google Scholar Citations|website=scholar.google.com}}
