Biography
Maria Riegler, PhD is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Business Management, esp. Responsible Management, at the IHI Zittau starting in October 2022. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in Economics and Social Sciences as well as a master’s degree in Socioeconomics from Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna). In September 2022, she completed her PhD in Business and Socioeconomic Sciences at Modul University Vienna.
From 2016 to 2022, Maria Riegler worked at the Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainable Strategy (IBES) at FHWien der WKW, where she established the Josef Ressel Centre for Collective Action and Responsible Partnerships together with Prof. Dr. Markus Scholz. She took over the operative project lead for the Centre in July 2021.
In her research, which is predominantly empirical and qualitative, Maria Riegler focuses on understanding the antecedents of collective types of private governance as well as collaborative collective action. In more concrete terms, Maria Riegler addresses the question of why private actors (especially businesses) engage in collective organizing efforts towards addressing societally relevant problems.
