In the b2c sector, her research interests are online consumer behavior, online marketing and distribution channels, and electronic word-of-mouth.

Maria authored more than 70 publications in academic journals, conference proceedings, book chapters, and books. Besides that she presents her research at renowned practitioner congresses. She collaborates with firms and institutions in various industries, among them GS1, Metro C&C, ECR Austria, Spar, Rewe, etc. Maria is an Associate Editor of the Electronic Commerce Research Journal and a reviewer of numerous scholarly journals including Marketing Science, European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS), Electronic Markets etc.

Dr. Pernille Eskerod is full professor and senior researcher within management and organizational behavior at the Department of Business and Management, Webster Vienna Private University, since 2015. Further, she is a faculty member at the WU Executive Academy in Vienna, since 2008, teaching stakeholder engagement and supervising MBA theses. In 2016-17, she spent three months at Webster Thailand in Bangkok.

Applying a stakeholder perspective on managerial issues is her core research focus. Currently, she is working on research projects that are partly funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (Stakeholder Engagement in Rural Tourism) and by the global association Project Management Institute (Harnessing Social Capital with Community Stakeholders in Infrastructure Projects).

Further, she is conducting research on green certificates/sustainability efforts within the hotel industry; sustainability and project stakeholder management; and managerial implications of Internet-of-Things (IoT).

Eskerod has authored more than 100 publications. Most of her publications are in the leading journals of her main field: International Journal of Project Management, Project Management Journal, and International Journal of Managing Projects in Business. In 2015, she was the lead guest editor of a thematic special issue of Project Management Journal on project stakeholder management. She is on the editorial board of International Journal of Project Management.

Eskerod has published more books and several peer-reviewed book chapters with international, well-respected publishers e.g. Gower. The book, Project Stakeholder Management (with Anna Lund Jepsen) was on Gower’s Top20 bestseller list in 1st half of 2013.

Eskerod has undertaken more international research projects. In 2005-2007, she was Denmark’s national lead on the international research project (PMValue), which was the biggest research initiative ever carried out by the global association Project Management Institute. In 2012-2015, she was principal co-lead together with associate professor Dr. Martina Huemann, WU Wien, of the international research project Rethinking Project Stakeholder Management which is partly funded by Project Management Institute. During her 20+ years in academia, Eskerod has been teaching at all levels — bachelor, master and doctoral — and in executive education. Further, she has done plenty of thesis supervisions. To engage students in learning processes and to disseminate her research-based knowledge stay close to her heart.

Eskerod has attracted research funding from competitive applications submitted to international funds, incl. EU Regional fond and the global but US-based organization Project Management Institute. Further, she has attracted governmental research funding in Denmark and Austria as well as from industrial associations in Denmark. In addition, she has attracted research funding from case study partners, i.e. private and public companies. Eskerod has often acted as speaker, organizer, discussant and reviewer at international conferences, e.g. Academy of Management, Decision Sciences Institute, European Group of Organizational Studies (EGOS), European Academy of Management, Nordic Academy of Management, International Research Network on Project Organizing and Project Management Institute. More of her conference papers have been selected for special issues. During her academic career, Eskerod has paid great attention to knowledge exchange between the academic community and the business community, and most of her research is based on empirical studies, mainly case studies.

Eskerod has a broad professional network. She has served on several assessment committees internally and externally. In 2019, she was ERASMUS+ visiting faculty member at University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (invited by Prof. Dr. Jesús Arteaga). In 2016-17, she spent three months at Webster's campus in Bangkok. In 2013-2014, she was visiting professor at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business (invited by Dr. Martina Huemann).

In 1997, she was a visiting scholar at Umeå School of Business and Economics, Umeå University, Sweden (invited by Prof. Dr. Rolf Lundin). Before joining Webster Vienna, Eskerod had various positions at University of Southern Denmark. In 2008-2014 she was full professor with special duties within project management.

Before joining Webster she worked as pre- and post-doc researcher at Vienna University of Technology and in the field of organizational development at two large Austrian-based organizations.

Zedlacher’s core research focus lies in the organizational analysis of organizational (mis)behavior. In her PhD thesis, she investigated the prevalence and normalization of workplace bullying in highly gendered organizational/professional cultures (military, academia, etc.). In her current research, she is interested in how organizational third parties make sense of bullying allegations and how organizations can best intervene at an early stage of the bullying process. Moreover, she is also participating in a cross-cultural project on rural tourism and stakeholder engagement in Serbia and Austria.
