Victor Martin-Sanchez is an Associate Professor and Head of the International Management Research Group within the International Business Section at SDU Business School, University of Southern Denmark (SDU).

Before joining SDU, Victor was an Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship at King's Business School, King's College London (UK). He holds a Ph.D. in Business Economics from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain) and was a visiting Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA). He is also a Part-time Lecturer at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and serves as a Senior Editor at Business Research Quarterly and as an Associate Editor at Journal of Business Research.

Victor’s research focuses on understanding entrepreneurial behavior and performance in international and institutionally diverse contexts. His work integrates insights from entrepreneurship, international business, and strategy to examine how entrepreneurs’ human capital, cognitive attributes, and strategic orientations influence growth aspirations, innovation, and internationalization decisions. A key objective of his research is to explain how individual-level entrepreneurial characteristics interact with heterogeneous institutional configurations to shape venture trajectories. By adopting a comparative and multi-level perspective, his work sheds light on why entrepreneurial outcomes vary across countries and contexts, and how entrepreneurs adapt their strategies in response to institutional constraints and opportunities.

Victor's research has been published in leading academic journals such as Organization Science, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Small Business Economics, International Business Review, The Journal of Technology Transfer, Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Technovation, and Journal of Banking & Finance.
