Prof. Dr. Daniel Geiger

Daniel Geiger has been a professor and holder of the Chair for Organization Studies at the University of Hamburg, Germany, since April 2013. Prior to this, he was a professor and holder of the Chair for International Management at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, from April 2010 until March 2013.

He has a degree in business administration (Dipl.-Kfm.) from Freie Universität Berlin and studied business administration in Berlin, New York, and Paris (1994–2000).

He also received his PhD from Freie Universität Berlin, working within the Department of Management (Prof. Georg Schreyögg) and producing a doctoral dissertation on the epistemological foundations of knowledge management (2005).

After completing his PhD, he worked as a research fellow within the Advanced Institute of Management Research (AIM) at the University of Liverpool Management School, UK, where he co-led an international research project on the evolution of and changes in organizational practices (2005–2007).

Following this, he worked as an assistant/associate professor of organization studies at the University of Linz, Austria, where he also received his Habilitation in November 2009.

Research interests
Prof. Geiger’s research interests revolve around practice-based approaches to studying organizational change processes. He is particularly interested in the dynamics of organizational routines and the way in which routines are enacted in crisis and emergency situations. Most of his studies are based on ethnographic methods of data collection and he has collaborated with Germany’s Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), the Hamburg Fire Department, and the Uganda Red Cross Society. Most recently, he has been studying coordination within the refugee crisis in Northern Uganda and emergency coordination within the Ebola epidemic in East Africa. His research has been presented at all the major national and international management conferences and is published in leading national and international journals such as the Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, Organization, Organization Studies, the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Management Learning, sbr, zfbf, zfb, DBW, and zfo.
