Jukka Partanen
Associate Professor
Vaasan Yliopisto Helsingin toimipiste
Background
I received my Ph.D. from the Helsinki School of Economics in 2008. Before joining the School of Management in fall 2015, I worked 12 years at the Aalto University (Department of Marketing). In 2018-2019, I was a visiting professor at IE Business School, Madrid.
Research
My research interests include high-growth firms, entrepreneurial stress and wellbeing, strategic networks, and industrial service business.
Teaching
My teaching activities focus on service business and startups. My underlying teaching philosophy is that the most effective, motivating, and fun way to learn is to apply the content and knowledge of the course. Hence, all my courses have a 'hands on' approach which mean that the students get out of the classroom, and apply the content in the real world. I'm also the programme manager for the Strategic Business Development.
