IE Brown Executive MBA

Whether it is to motivate managers to act on a change in the climate of their industry or to analyze the extent to which financial markets lead companies to implement strategic changes, Carl Kock is interested in cause-and-effect analysis. 

After working for several years in a multinational company, Professor Kock found that his day job made it more difficult to delve deeper into the business topics that interested him. He decided to devote himself to his doctoral studies. Equipped with his new academic experience, his work focuses on identifying the elements that create value in companies 

In addition, Professor Kock is developing a line of research on the management of large companies with a focus on Corporate Environmental Management. Protecting the environment is a very important goal in today's society. Professor Kock also recently expanded research on governance and value creation by looking at topics such as sharia scholars in international banking and the effects of psychopathic CEOs.
