Dr Ozgur Dedehayir’s research focuses on the strategic implications of technological evolution, disruptive innovations, and the diffusion of innovations, studying various empirical settings including the computer gaming industry, copper production industry, cancer drug innovations, and most recently vegan food innovations. Over the past couple of years, he has broadened his research scope, and directed a focal lens on the emergence of innovation ecosystems and entrepreneurial ecosystems. These interests are fuelled by the impact such research can have on the formulation of effective policy strategies for economic growth, while guiding the strategic actions of new and established firms.
Ozgur is the Project Leader of the Coffs Agrifood Living Lab (CALL), facilitating initiatives with his colleague, Dr Jack Adams, in partnership with Future Food Systems and City of Coffs Harbour.
