Introduction
We are looking for one to two student assistants to support the research project CLONE - Consequences of Long-term Organizational Embeddedness. The CLONE project explores how embeddedness in historical networks affects the strategic decisions made by large corporations between 1910-2020. We study this by creating a unique database, combining historical data on accounts and networks. By doing this, the project extends the understanding of how corporations learn from and find alliances through networks. The research project is carried out under the direction of Associate Professor Christoph Ellersgaard at the Department of Organization at the Copenhagen Business School. You can read more about our project here.

- Help collect and clean a data set containing accounting information from annual reports on the largest Danish Corporations in the period 1970 – 2023.
- If you are interested in coding and have strong coding skills, we imagine that a task could be to work on automating the data-cleaning process of annual reports.
