Research

The academic background of the members of The Decision Institute and the links and connections it has with various universities and faculties all over the world are a logical step towards doing our own research.  The Decision Institute performs research activities in different fields and published several studies and reports. Our research can be split up in several themes:

  • Corporate Governance
  • Strategy & Comptitiveness, Clusters
  • Strategy & Decision Making – Moments of truth
  • Innovation & Strategy
  • Healthcare & Strategy
  • Life Sciences & Strategy

Our founding partners Prof. Fred van Eenennaam and ir Maarten Koomans both have a rich background in research, where Maarten’s focus is on Healthcare, Innovation and decision making, Fred’s expertise is on Corporata Governance, Competitiveness & Clusters and Life Sciences.
