## Research[edit]

Oliver Gassmann's research interests lie in the fields of technology and innovation management. At the outset of his career, he conducted extensive research on the internationalization of research and development (R&D) and is regarded as one of the pioneers of the concept of open innovation. Since 2002, he has been working with industrial consortia on realizable ways to open up industrial research and development. In 2006, he published the first special issue on this topic in the journal R&D Management.[13]

His work The Business Model Navigator[14] became an international bestseller and was translated into numerous languages. In 2021, it was nominated for the International Business Book Award[15] in the UK.

Gassmann's research is empirically based and phenomenon-led, often in close collaboration with industry. His work has been published in leading journals such as Research Policy,[16] Journal of Product Innovation Management,[17] R&D Management,[18] IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management,[19] Journal of Management,[20] and Long Range Planning[21]. More recently, he has also increasingly devoted himself to interdisciplinary studies, which have appeared in the Journal of Cleaner Production[22]Journal of Cleaner Production|, Journal of Translational Medicine,[23] Drug Discovery Today[24]Drug Discovery Today|, and Nature Reviews Drug Discovery,[25] among others.

With an h-index of 76[26] and almost 40,000 citations, Oliver Gassmann is one of the most influential scientists in his field. His work has been cited in Forbes,[27] Financial Times,[27] and Fokus.[28]

A bibliographic analysis by Pitt et al. (2021) identified him as one of the leading academics in the field of innovation and product development of the last 20 years. He is the only scientist who is not only among the ten most published authors but is also represented with two articles in the top 10 most cited works in the field.[29]

In 2023, Gassmann was recognized by research.com as the 'Best Researcher in Business & Management in Switzerland'[30]. He is one of the world's most cited researchers in the fields of business models[31] and R&D management.[32]
