Biography
Stephen M. Ross School of Business
My research focuses on the role of social structures in markets. I view markets as social structures that encompass social networks and market identities, both of which shape economic opportunities. Within this broad theoretical framework, I focus on status, theorized initially as positions in social structure, but more recently also as an important aspect of market identities, and on developing a role-theoretic perspective on reputation.
I teach corporate strategy, strategic alliances, and social networks in the BBA, MBA, and Ph.D. programs and I received the 2003 BBA Student Award for Teaching Excellence.
I am an International Research Fellow at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation.
