Associate Professor

Erasmus University

Laura Rosendahl Huber is an Associate Professor in Entrepreneurship at the Department of Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM).

Her research focuses on two interrelated themes. First, she examines how the development and formation of human capital at the individual and team level influence entrepreneurial decision making and performance. Thereby, she focuses on the empirical analysis of entrepreneurship training, entrepreneurial teams, and the evaluation of policies aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. In her second line of research, Laura examines how differences in personal characteristics might affect strategic decision making. To this end, she compares strategic decision makers along two different dimensions: male vs. female and entrepreneurs vs. managers. One of her key interests is gaining a better understanding of the gender inequality among entrepreneurs. In her work, she aims to tease out the underlying mechanisms and identify potential factors that could mitigate gender differences in entrepreneurship and encourage more women to become entrepreneur. Most of Laura’s work is based on field experiments. This method is becoming increasingly popular in the fields of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Strategy and is often referred to as the gold standard.
