Anni Jahn
Hi and Welcome to my ePortfolio!
My name is Anni and I'm a PhD student at Warwick Business School (WBS) where I am part of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation (EI) Group. Prior to joining WBS I obtained a B.A. in International Business from Berlin School of Economics and Law (Germany) and Anglia Ruskin University Cambrige (UK). I also completed a MSc in Programme and Project Management from Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of Warwick. In addition I worked for Siemens Healthcare in Philadelphia (USA) as a member the Project Management Office coordinating the implementation of Electronic Health Record Software, and for Siemens Energy in Berlin (Germany) in the field of Business Development for Turbomachinery.
I am interested in topics related to Healthcare, especially Medical Devices. My Bachelors thesis was a comparative study of the E.U. and U.S. regulatory framework for medical devices. My Masters thesis demonstrated how utilizing programme management methodology can improve the product registration process for medical devices, specifically across multiple countries.
Doctoral Research
The overall aim of my PhD research is to examine how interest groups in the European Union legitimise their action and establish an expert role. The project will seek to gain an understanding of the emergence and maintenance of social movements and explore the dynamics between interest groups and E.U. institutions. On a theoretical level my project aims to link Institutional Theory, Organisational Identity and Framing Processes. My empirical research will be a case study that focuses on the revison process of the medical device directives (as proposed by the European Commission) which occured as a result of the 2010 healthcare scandal concerning breast implants produced by French medical device manufacturer Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP).
