Expertise
Professor Mihet examines the transformative impact of data-feedback loops on productivity, competitive advantage, and market power. Her research shows a virtuous cycle, where increased data security-related innovation spills over into other forms of innovation, leading to overall corporate growth. Tech giants leverage this data complementarity to outpace smaller competitors. A prime example is Amazon, which patented its data-protection technology for secure financial transactions—later evolving into its iconic '1-Click' ordering system, revolutionizing efficiency and the customer experience. The key takeaway is that organizational structure matters—IT, R&D, marketing, sales, and customer service teams must collaborate closely to
