My research program focuses on two central areas of investigation: (1) strategy formulation and (2) organization design.
My empirical approach primarily involves econometric studies of large-scale data at the individual, team, and firm level to investigate patterns of change and performance as well as the drivers of innovation and entrepreneurship.
The ultimate objective is to develop new theory to explain entrepreneurial strategy in nascent industries as well as organization design in digital platforms characterized by gig and remote work.
