Felix Arndt is the John F Wood Chair in Entrepreneurship in the Department of Management of the Gordon S Lang School at the University of Guelph, a Research Fellow at the Center for Business and Sports of the Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden, and a Visiting Professor at the University of Agder, Norway.

Dr Arndt’s research intersects strategy, entrepreneurship, and innovation. He looks at how firms use organisational renewal and technological innovation to stay ahead of the competition. A second field of interest is best captured by the question how entrepreneurs overcome extreme challenge (e.g. of socio-economic or medical nature). His research has frequently used the Chinese context. Some of his research uses corporate social responsibility questions and the context of contested industries (tobacco, nuclear power etc.).
