Hello! I'm an associate professor of Strategy at Bentley University. Broadly, I study the intersection of strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship. More specifically, my research examines competitive dynamics (how firms choose specific actions and respond to their rivals), industry evolution (how industries, and the firms that comprise them, change over time) and the performance implications of these forces. Often, I consider the role of top management team characteristics in shaping firm evolution through their influence on strategic choices such as innovation, avenues for growth, or investment patterns... My current work involves a number of topics, but some of the projects I am most excited about explore the intersection of strategic leaders with patterns of competition. I have also begun work on a project that seeks to integrate the behavioral theory of the firm with Austrian economic principles to provide a cogent description of non-optimizing firms competing in dis-equilibrium..
