Dr. Florian Ueberbacher is an Associate Professor of Management at Montpellier Business School (since 2021). Previously, he was a senior researcher and lecturer at the University of Zurich, where he has an ongoing affiliation. His Ph.D. in Management is from the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland). His research focuses on business regulation and business-government-relations and their implications for business and society. Recently he has focused in particular on 'transnational governance', that is, on the regulation of organizations and activities that transcend national borders (e.g. international business, multinational companies, international federations). Conceptually, his research attempts to make contributions to organization theory. He is particularly interested in institutional theories and in theorizations of organizational power and related concepts (e.g. influence, authority, legitimacy, etc.). His research has received several awards. It has been published in premier international journals and supported with large research grants.
