On 26 June 2023, we welcomed Prof. Dr. Paula Jarzabkowski as a guest lecturer as part of the seminar series on “Sustainable Transformation and Cross Sector Collaboration.” Hosted by the Chair for Organization Studies, the inaugural lecture on “Disaster Insurance Reimagined: Protection in a Time of Increasing Risk” took place at Von-Melle-Park 9.

Paula Jarzabkowski is Professor of Strategic Management Management at University of Queensland and City, University of London, and Co-Editor of Strategic Organization. Her research focuses on strategy-as-practice in complex contexts, such as regulated firms, third-sector organizations and financial services, particularly insurance and reinsurance. As an expert for insurance protection gaps, Paula talked about her forthcoming book on ‘protection gap Entities’ (PGEs), which are not-for-profit insurance mechanisms that attempt to address the crisis in disaster insurance.

We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Paula Jarzabkowski for a truly captivating lecture.
