WEISS Jan

Jan joined Montpellier Business School in 2021 as Associate Professor of Strategy, Management, and Entrepreneurship. He holds a PhD in Applied Microeconomics from Jönköping International Business School, Sweden and an MSc in Business Administration from the University of Mannheim, Germany.

Jan focuses on sustainable development in his teaching and research activities. In terms of teaching, Jan is responsible for the course Research Perspectives in Sustainability in MBS’ digital DBA program. In his research, he incorporates the UN Sustainable Development Goals  as a cross-cutting research theme. His primary research interest lies in understanding the roles of macro (e.g., culture) and micro-level  factors (e.g., personality, personal values)  on entrepreneurial process and performance. Second, Jan conducts research on pollution industries to better understand sustainability drivers of polluting firms. A third research area of Jan is sustainable consumption. Jan is interested and skilled in System Dynamics Analysis, which he used to model and better understand the socio-economic development observed in countries rich in natural resources, such as oil and gas, compared with more resource-poor countries. Jan’s research has been published, among others, on International Small Business Journal, Industry & Innovation, Business Strategy and the Environment, and Journal of Environmental Planning and Management..

Jan’s profile is complemented by international work experience beyond the academic realm, including assignments related to sustainable development at UN-ESCAP (Bangkok, Thailand), LekaGape, a non-profit organization in Phalaborwa (Lulekani), South Africa, and  Swedfund International (Stockholm, Sweden). Through sustainable investments in developing countries, these assignments aim contributing to inclusive growth and a reduction in extreme poverty in developing countries.
