For the course "Introduction to Business Administration" Prof. Hoppmann received the teaching award for the best course at the University of Oldenburg in the academic year 2017/2018. In addition, Prof. Hoppmann's research has been supported through scholarships from several institutions, including the German National Academic Foundation, the Swiss National Science Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Service and the Dr.-Jürgen-Ulderup-Stiftung. Prof. Hoppmann serves on the editorial board of the journal "Organization & Environment" and is a member of the GRONEN Reading Group.
Prof. Hoppmann's research centers on questions at the intersection of strategic management, sustainability, and innovation. Specifically, in his research he draws on both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate three main questions: (1) How does an organization’s institutional environment (especially public policy) affect strategic decisions and organizational learning in the context of sustainability? (2) How can organizations design internal structures and corporate governance mechanisms to support strategic and organizational change toward sustainability? (3) How do cognitive varibles, such as attention, framing, and identity, affect sustainability-related strategies of firms? Empirically, Prof. Hoppmann's research focuses on the energy and mobility sectors, specifically renewable energy, electricity suppliers, energy efficiency, and electric mobility. Moreover, in recent projects he investigates strategic change of companies in the context of the digital transformation as well as corporate strategies in the IT industry.
