International Affairs Associate Professor Danny Breznitz will seek to expand theories of organization and innovation to encompass innovative organizations outside Western institutional arrangements. The study is "Organizations in Emerging Economics - Towards a Theory of Innovation in an Environment of Structured Uncertainty."

Dr. Breznitz is the CISTP Program Director for Globalization, Innovation, and Development.

Dan Breznitz’s research aims to utilize the comparative socio-political economy tool set to inquire into the choices states and societies have in pursuing industrial and economic development and well-being. His main focus has been on Industrial Innovation, Rapid-Innovation-Based industries, and their globalization. Breznitz has extensive fieldwork experience in different countries and different regions of the world, and takes the view that only by encouraging multi-method interdisciplinary research can we advance our understanding of the social reality.
