In 2001 he completed his M.B.R. at the University of Munich, and he attained his PhD in business economics from the same university in 2002. He spent part of his PhD studies as a visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley. Reitzig’s studies were supported by scholarships from the Bayer Studienstiftung and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).[2] In 2002 he became assistant professor at the Copenhagen Business School, where from 2004 to 2006 he worked as a tenured associate professor for Strategic Management. During this period, he was both a visiting associate professor at the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) (in 2004 and 2005) and a visiting researcher at the Deutsche Bundesbank (2004 and 2005). From 2006 through 2012, Reitzig worked as an assistant professor for Strategic Management at the London Business School in England.

He was nominated for and bestowed upon several awards for his research, amongst others the Tietgen Prize [3] and the Bill Nobles Fellowship for his work on the design and leadership of non-traditional organizations,[4] and received or was a finalist for diverse competitive research grants.[5] Markus's latest book on the design and management of flat structures appeared in the spring of 2022.[6] In January 2022, Professor Reitzig was listed among the top 15 researchers under 50 years of age by A/A+ publications in the Forschungsmonitoring Lifetime Ranking, which analyses the research of +2,100 business academics across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland [7] - and came in first in the same ranking in Austria in the above category. In addition to giving media interviews,[8] Markus regularly speaks at corporate and public events.
