I’m Henning Piezunka. I am a professor at Wharton.

I am an expert on Entrepreneurial Management, CEO Succession, and Collaboration & Competition.

RESEARCH

For an overview, see my Academic CV or my Google Scholar Profile.

My research is focussed on collaboration, competition, crowdsourcing, and CEO succession. I study these topics in various contexts, most notably entrepreneurial firms, sports (e.g., F1, chess, soccer, basketball), and family enterprises.

My research serves as the foundation of my teaching, speaking, and advisory work. I publish my research in world-leading peer-reviewed journals and have won various awards.

TEACHING, WORKSHOPS & SPEAKING

I often give workshops and keynotes at companies. I customize the content of my speeches and workshops to match your particular interests and situation. The focus, though, consistently revolves around my areas of expertise

(1) how to make companies and their managers more entrepreneurial,

(2) how to manage the CEO-succession, and

(3) how to collaborate and compete more effectivley. 

I speak online or in person. If you want me to speak at your company, you can contact me here
