Fabian Tingelhoff
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Management Science and Engineering
BioI am a fourth-year PhD candidate and research associate at the University of St. Gallen. During my PhD, I received a scholarship by the Swiss National Science Foundation to visit Prof. Riitta Katila at Stanford's Management Science & Engineering Department (MS&E). In this context, I support the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) and the Stanford Initiative for Entrepreneurial Resilience and Well-being (SIER). Additionally, throughout my PhD, I am continuously funded by the German Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation, and was honored by the Association for Information Systems as a promising young scholar.
In my research, I investigate how immersive platforms influence the structures of technology-mediated ecosystems and, consequently, organizational strategies. My research further extends to the ethical design and usage of immersive technologies, encompassing user emancipation and well-being.
Previously, I graduated with a Master of Science in International Management from Università Bocconi in Milan Italy, and from the CEMS Global Alliance. I completed my undergraduate at WHU - Otto Beisheim University in Germany.
Moreover, I am a three-time German national a cappella singing champion (2015 and 2016 with a choir, 2016 with a quartet). In my free-time, I used to be an Emergency Service Technician, and the President of the St. Gallen Women's Lacrosse Team (1. Swiss National Division).
In summary, I am very passionate about everything I touch - and I am thrilled to gain new experiences all over the world. -
Edison Tse
Associate Professor of Management Science and Engineering, Emeritus
BioProfessor Edison Tse received his BS, MS, and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the Director of Asia Center of Management Science and Engineering, which has the charter of developing executive training programs for executives in Asian enterprises, conducting research on development of the emerging economy in Asia and establishing research affiliations with Asian enterprises, with a special focus in Greater China: China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
In 1973, he received the prestigious Donald Eckman Award from the American Automatic Control Council in recognition of his outstanding contribution in the field of Automatic Control. He had served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions of Automatic Control, and a co-editor of the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, which he co-founded.
Professor Tse has done research in system and control engineering, economic dynamics and control, computer integrated systems to support fishery management policy decisions, management and control of manufacturing enterprise, and industrial competitive analysis and product development. Tse developed a framework for analyzing dynamic competitive strategy that would shape the formation of an ecosystem supporting a value proposition. Within such a framework, he developed dynamic strategies for firms entering an emerging market, latecomers entering a matured market, and firms managing transformation. Using this framework, he developed a new theory on the business transformation of a company and the economic transformation of a developing economy. He applied his theory to explain China’s rapid growth since 1978, changing from a production economy to an innovation economy. His current research is extending the theory to managing product success, managing inflection point disruptions, sustainable growth strategy in a dynamic changing environment, and industries’ strategy responding to geopolitics disruption. Over the years he has made valuable contributions in the field of engineering, economics, and business creation and expansion. He has published over 180 papers on his research activities.
From 2004- 2015, he co-directed various Stanford-China programs on regional industry and enterprise transformation that were attended by high level city officials from various cities in China and high level executives from Chinese enterprises. From 2007-2013, he co-directed a Stanford Financial Engineering Certificate Program in Hong Kong that upgrades the quality of managers and traders in the financial institutions in Hong Kong
He was a co-founder and a Board member of Advanced Decision System (ADS), a technology company with emphasis on AI and advanced decision tools. The company was found in 1979 and later acquired by Booz Allen and Hamilton in 1991. In 1988, Verity was spun off from ADS with AI search engine technology developed in ADS to provide enterprise search software. He was a Board member of Verity representing ADS before Verity went IPO in 1995. From 2007-2010, he was a Board member of KBC Fund Management Co., Ltd.
