Professor Lechler’s research analyses the early development stages of new ventures and the success factors of project management to understand the dynamics and interactions between decisions, structures, and behaviors on innovation success.
He studies the areas of; Project Management: Success factors of project management, multiple project planning under resource constraints, leadership behaviors of project managers, project team culture and value strategies to maximize project value, Innovation Management: Early termination of R&D projects, champions and their role in innovation processes, R&D project portfolio planning, Global Innovation Management: Organizational structures and strategies enabling innovations in multinational settings, and Entrepreneurship: Growth in the early development stages of new ventures, opportunity recognition and exploitation in founder teams and network impact of private investor networks.
Dr. Lechler is also an integral part of the E2-Lab, which aims to foster the rapid marketplace realization of economically successful environmental innovations that are capable of being adopted by existing companies or serve as bases for creating new ventures.
He is a member of the German Association of Project Management (GPM) and the Academy of Management. He was the founder and co. CEO of VIVATECH GmbH, and has received accolades such as The GPM Award for the best Dissertation, Rent 13 Conference London: Best Paper Award, and the Best Researcher Award, Wesley J. Howe School. |
