Dominique van Keeken

Dominique is a junior researcher at Erasmus UPT. She is currently active in several port-related research projects including the strategic monitor for the Port of Moerdijk.

Dominique graduated from the master's programme Management of Innovation at the Rotterdam School of Management in August 2021. In her master's thesis, she investigated how traditional organisations can leverage innovation platforms to develop digital innovations. The theoretical model she developed proposes that traditional organisations can use specific integration mechanisms to manage the structural separation between the platform and the parent organisation.

Dominique has several years of work and research experience, including as a pricing analyst at Unilever and as a researcher at the HZ Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. She has experience with various quantitative and qualitative research methods, including; case studies, focus groups, interviews, meta-analysis, surveys and risk analysis (Monte Carlo simulation).
