Hans minne hedrades bland annat genom minnesrunor i de stora dagstidningarna. Som institutionens professorer Lars Engwall och Jan Johanson skrev blev han ”banbrytande genom att etablera internationellt företagande som ett forskningsområde”. Han har mycket påtagligt satt sin prägel på institutionen.”
