Romeo V. Turcan (born 24 April 1970) is a professor at Aalborg University Business School, Clare Hall Life Member, and Adjunct Professor at Trinity Business School. His research interests include emergence, legitimation and institutionalization of newness and theory building across diverse disciplines and contexts.

Education and career Turcan holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the Air Force Engineering Military Academy, Riga, Latvia (1992) and in Philology from the Department of Post-University Studies, Moldova State University, Chișinău, Moldova (1995). In 2000, he received his MSc in International Marketing from the Department of Marketing, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom; and in 2006, he received his PhD in International Entrepreneurship from the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, University of Strathclyde. Prior to commencing his academic career, Turcan worked in a range of posts involving public policy intervention in restructuring, rationalizing and modernizing business and public sectors such as power, oil, military high-tech, management consulting, information and communications technology (ICT) and higher education. In addition, he is the co-founder and former Executive Director of the International Association of Business and Parliament – Moldova. He has also been a member of various boards including the board of Enterprise and Parliamentary Dialogue International, London, UK (2013-2019) and the board of The International Society of Markets and Development (2019-). He is chairman of the Organization of Moldovans in Denmark. He has been project coordinator for ERASMUS + Strategic Partnership projects (2019-2023; 2024-2027) and the H2020 Marie S. Curie project (2020-2024). In addition, he is the Founder and Coordinator of the Theory Building Research Program (2012-).

Honors Since 2012, Turcan has been the main applicant and coordinator of four EU funded projects, incl., Marie S. Curie ITN, with a total value of more than 7.3 mil EUR:

"Legitimation of Newness and Its Impact on EU Agenda for Change", Marie S. Curie project (2020-2023, main applicant and coordinator) "International Entrepreneurship Network for PhD and PhD Supervisor Training", Strategic Partnership (Erasmus+) project (2019-2022, main applicant and coordinator) "PBLMD-TOPUP", ERASMUS+ Learning Mobility of Individuals (2017-2018, main applicant and coordinator) "Introducing Problem Based Learning in Moldova: Toward Enhancing Students’ Competitiveness and Employability", ERASMUS+ Capacity Building national project (2015-2019, main applicant and coordinator) "Enhancing University Autonomy in Moldova", ERASMUS+ Capacity Building structural project (2012-2015, main applicant and coordinator)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Romeo V. Turcan

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Romeo V. Turcan claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Romeo V. Turcan before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Romeo V. Turcan ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Romeo V. Turcan

In research: Romeo V. Turcan appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Romeo V. Turcan in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Romeo V. Turcan is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1970 births, 21st-century mechanical engineers, Academic staff of Aalborg University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Romeo V. Turcan outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
