About me
My name is Agnieszka Nowinska. I am Polish, lived in Belgium for many years, I live and work in Denmark now. I am an Associate Professor at the Aalborg University Business School. I hold a PhD in Management and Economics from the Copenhagen Business School (2018) and before that I studied at the Vrije Universiteit Brussels & Solvay Business School (Master in Management 2010).
Before I started my work in academia, I worked for 8 years as a business development manager in a private company in Brussels and served as Trade Officer at the Embassy of Poland in Belgium. The research part of my business development job as well as the focus on networks, mobility, and relationships is at the core of my research and teaching now. For more information about me see my Publications and the Work in Progress. Please reach out if you are interested in a collaboration.

Scientific Focus Areas
I am an Assistant Professor with a strong interest in network and mobility studies. I studied employees’ mobility worldwide following an organizational failure of a large Danish MNE but also the evolution of employees’ careers in terms of their international assignments. A part of these, I studied global buyer-supplier relations with focus on local vs. distant relationships.
Careers
I study employees’ mobility and co-mobility worldwide following a failure of a large MNE. I am also interested in supplementing the knowledge on MNE global staffing and study novel staffing strategies including local staffing.
Networks
Network formation and persistence are my core interests. I study the drivers of employees’ co-mobility at the individual level and the networks between employees and employers. I also study buyer-supplier networks along with their determinants including proximity (local vs. global networks).
Change/disruption
I studied different extreme contexts: firm bankrupcy, financial crisis, closure and downfalls of industries and avenue of new technology. These serve me as background to "effect" studies and "extreme cases".
