Beruflicher Werdegang

Anna Lupina-Wegener is a Professor of International Management and Organizational Behaviour and head of the Center for Culture and Creativity in International Business, Zurich University for Applied Sciences, School of Management and Law (ZHAW, since 09/2022). Before (2012-2022), she was a full professor at the School of Engineering and Management Canton de Vaud, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO). Prof. Lupina-Wegener investigates organizational identity processes in the international management context, focusing on cross-border mergers and acquisitions. She is interested in how merging organizations create a culture of collaboration with shared goals and a shared organizational identity. She approaches organizational identity as a subjectively constructed reality and relies on an interpretative epistemology. She obtained external funding, which supported her numerous research projects. Among the others, Prof. Lupina-Wegener and her colleagues obtained an SNF grant (https://data.snf.ch/grants/grant/163106) to investigate organizational ambivalence triggered by multiple organizational identities in Sino-Western M&As in general. Her work was published in international journals such as for example, Management International Review, Business Horizons, or British Journal of Social Psychology.
Further, she has developed a strong academic network doing interdisciplinary research on M&As; among others, she is a member of the European M&A Institute (https://www.european-ma-institute.org). Prof. Lupina-Wegener is also a Cost Action China in Europe Network member and part of its leadership team (https://china-in-europe.net/action-leadership/).
