I firmly believe that my role as an academic is to serve as a tool for society to understand the complex and emerging challenges organizations and societies face. Therefore, I research problems that organizations struggle with everyday (e.g., learning, innovation, and change) as well as those issues that societies grapple with (e.g., economic inequality, and global product safety). Together, these give me a chance to communicate my research in multiple formats to improve management practice and education.
