Dr Stephanie Looser
About
Biography
In 2013, Stéphanie Looser obtained a MSc degree in Business Administration with a specialisation in Public and Non-profit Management. In her Master’s dissertation, she tackled the regional, social, economic, and environmental effects of governmental steering in response to climate change.
After gaining work experience in the accounting/consulting, auditing, public, and non-profit sectors, she is currently working towards a PhD focusing on Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and their unconventional but sophisticated approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). She is evaluating these heuristic and/or ethics-driven business models for comparison with conventional systems in order to hasten them towards policy.
