Benedikt has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Management & Strategy at the University of St.Gallen since July 2025. He is a behavioral strategist who examines the drivers of strategic foresight in the tradition of the Behavioral Theory of the Firm. His research primarily relies on quantitative-positivist methods such as (field) experiments, stochastic modeling, and archival data analysis. Through this work, Benedikt aims to help managers make better strategic decisions in an increasingly uncertain and volatile business environment.

Benedikt holds a master’s degree in Business Psychology from the University of Münster and a master’s degree in Management from the University of St Andrews. He received his Ph.D. in Management (summa cum laude) from the University of St.Gallen.

For his achievements at the University of St. Andrews Benedikt was awarded the Peter Grinyer MLitt in Management Prize, which is awarded to the top student on the Management programme. During his studies, he held scholarships from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) and the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service).
