Expertise

In his research, Smit focuses on the relationship between inter-organizational networks and innovation in public-private R&D consortia. To study this relationship, he has built a unique data set of about 3,000 Dutch R&D projects, the first of which started in 1981. Work on this dataset is ongoing. He is especially interested in the dynamics of inter-organizational networks, for which he employs a multilevel perspective in teasing out the role of these dynamics in innovation. He has taught a broad range of courses on all academic levels (bachelor, pre-master, master, executive education and PhD) on topics in organization studies (strategy& organization, financial and project management, inter-organizational relationships), research methods (both quantitative and qualitative research) and business analytics (business intelligence & analytics and R programming). He has extensive experience supervising research projects (theses and group research) and literature reviews.
