"It´s seldom that a single discipline has the power to solve the problem"
Sharmistha Bagchi-Sen likes to cross boundaries in her work. She was born in Calcutta, but regards the USA as her home country. She is a Professor of Economic Geography at the State University of New York at Buffalo, but as a visiting professor at the School of Business, Economics and Law she mainly collaborates with researchers within the innovation and entrepreneurship group. She is currently in Gothenburg to study, among other things, Asian companies in Europe.
Sharmistha Bagchi-Sen is one of the international professors who have been recruited for the School of Business, Economics and Law´s Visiting Professor Programme. On the whole, she believes that the School offers an exciting and productive environment, where lateral thinking is the norm and different approaches are explored in an open atmosphere.
“If you have a problem, regardless of whether it concerns society or enterprise, it’s seldom that a single discipline has the power to solve it,” says Sharmistha Bagchi-Sen. “ That is why I think it’s so exciting to work together with Maureen McKelvey and Annika Rickne, professors in innovation and entrepreneurship at the School. All three of us are interested in the biotech industry, but we approach the subject from different angles. New possibilities can really open up this way.”
