📈 How can you start a small and build it into a global digital leader employing over 100 people in a span of just 9 years?

🎙️ We sat down with Artem Tsymbal to find out how he managed to do it by founding Artkai, a Ukraine based customer-centric digital engineering agency that provides end-to-end development, strategy & design services to clients across the world.

🤝 Artem spoke about how he became an entrepreneur despite never having anticipated it and how he grew his company from a fledgling startup into a world renowned digital agency that boasts over 100 employees and projects with large firms in Europe and USA. We also discussed the challenges of entrepreneurship and Artem’s learnings as a student in ESCP Business School’s program and how ESCP was instrumental in Artkai’s newest partnership with one of Poland’s largest IT consortiums.

🚀 We are very proud to announce that PhD candidate Ronja Kirschning has successfully defended her doctoral thesis on "Entrepreneurship in different institutional contexts"!

📚 Over the past three years Ronja has gone from the inception of her research to the culmination in the form of two Small Business Economics (VHB: B) and one Frontiers in Entrepreneurship (VHB: C) publications. The thesis, recognized with Summa Cum Laude distinction, reflects Ronja's profound intellect, dedication, academic prowess and contribution to the international entrepreneurship literature.

👏 We also want to extend our congratulations to Matthias Mrożewski, the Head of Blue Factory Berlin, as Ronja is the very first PhD graduate that he has supervised. We also express our gratitude to David Audretsch, who wholeheartedly supported Ronja in his capacity as the second supervisor. A special thank you goes to Axel Buchner for conducting the intensive debate during the defense. We also want to extend a big thank you to René Mauer and Sönke Mestwerdt for playing a vital part throughout Ronja's research journey. We wish Ronja the very best for all her future endeavors!

Does management research need to shift towards design science, a paradigm that focuses on solving real-world problems by drawing on scientific knowledge? 💡

In a thought-provoking piece in the German newspaper FAZ.NET - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, René Mauer, and Christoph Seckler suggest exactly this.

They express that management research primarily focuses on explaining past events, not imagining future solutions, making research less relevant for practice.

📉🕳️ Failure, failure, failure…
Reminder that tomorrow, Thursday 26th, the “The Science of Failing Successfully” masterclass by Prof. Christoph Seckler will take place!

Learning from errors and failures seems to be the mantra of our time. Popular approaches like Agile, Scrum, and Lean Startup have turned the ability to experiment and quickly learn from mistakes into a core competence for the early 21st century. But learning from errors is easier said than done…

In this masterclass, you’ll learn everything about the mindset needed to learn from failure, how to adopt it, and how to inspire others to do the same!
Join ESCP Berlin Prof. Christoph Seckler and Manon Delespierre:
