Gabriel Benito

I'm a Professor of International Strategy at BI Norwegian Business School. I have a doctorate from NHHNorwegian School of Economics and a Siviløkonom/Masters degree from the BI Norwegian School of Management. Before joining BI, I had research and teaching positions at Copenhagen Business School, Østfold University College, and at the Norwegian Fund for Market and Distribution Research. I have been visiting professor at at Henley Business School/University of Reading (2015), Copenhagen Business School (2003-2005), and University of Valencia (2002-2003), and a visiting scholar at University of Melbourne (1998).

Research areas

My research has particularly dealt with foreign direct investment, the structure and behavior of multinational enterprises and their foreign subsidiaries, and foreign operation methods. I was Head of the Globalization Project, a research program dealing with a variety of issues related to globalization and its impact on small countries such as Norway, and funded over the years 2000-2004 by the Norwegian Research Council.

Teaching areas

I have taught a wide range of subjects within the business field, especially in international business and strategy, at undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. I was the Dean of Doctoral Studies at BI Norwegian Business School (2011-2014), and prior to that also been in charge of several graduate programs, including Associate Dean for the PhD program in Strategic Management, and program director of the MSc program in International Business at BI (1997-2001). I was the national coordinator for Norway in Nord-IB, a Nordic cooperative effort on doctoral education in International Business Studies, from 2000 to 2003.
