He also held an honorary position of Adjunct Professor at Copenhagen Business School in Denmark. Professor Meyer teaches in the areas of Strategic Management, International Business, Global Strategy, and Business in Emerging Markets.

He graduated with a Ph.D. from London Business School, with a dissertation on “Determinants of Direct Foreign Investment in the Transition Economies in Central and Eastern Europe”. Professor Meyer’s current research focuses on strategies of multinational enterprises in emerging economies. He is particularly interested in how firms adapt their business strategies to the specific conditions prevailing in each emerging economy. He has thus investigated foreign investor’s choice of entry mode and foreign acquisitions in transition economies. Another stream of research focuses on the global strategies that may bring multinational enterprises into emerging economies in the first place. Recent research investigates multinational enterprises originating from emerging economies such as China, focusing on how the home country context shapes the strategies of international growth. In 2013 Professor Meyer was elected to serve a three-year term as Fellow of the Academy of International Business (AIB) and was the organisation’s Vice President with responsibility for their 2014 annual conference in Vancouver Canada.
