Consequently, he has explored: the relationship between the state and the economy; economic cooperation (cartels, cooperatives, cooperation between capital and labour, etc.); European multinationals; technological innovation; the (dis-) advantages of small but developed European states; institutions and innovation; the "European enterprise"; and the Americanization of Europe's economic behaviour and values. Schröter has served as President of the European Business History Association and on various advisory and editorial boards.
