Åsa Devine received a M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Ergonomics from Luleå Technical University in 1998. Thereafter she moved to the USA and worked in the furniture industry as a product engineer specialist. After six years in the USA she returned to Sweden and completed her Ph.D. in 2010. This work concerns internationalization and performance among SMEs with empirical data originating from furniture producers in Sweden. Her general research interest lies in the area where strategic management intersects psychology and social psychology. In particular, Åsa is intrigued by how individuals (e.g. decision makers) and collective groups (e.g. top management teams) help determine organizational behavior and outcome in an international context.
