About Roger Schweizer

I currently work as the Head of Department at the Department of Business Administration, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg. My research interests are international strategy issues in general and firms' internationalization processes, international entrepreneurship, the relationship between headquarters and subsidiaries, as well as mergers and acquisitions in particular. I am also involved in the School of Executive MBA program and have been during many years the Head of the Graduate School at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.

I teach mainly within the fields of International Business, Strategy and Methodology.
