Background
I’m the INSEAD Aviva Chaired Professor of Leadership and Responsibility & Professor of Organizational Behaviour.
My research explores the social fabric of organizations at multiple levels. At the individual level, I study social networks and how they impact individual performance. At the corporate level, I have studied structural changes and the processes which help firms to adapt, with a particular interest in organizational culture.
I have served on the editorial board of Strategic Organisation and the Strategic Management Journal, and I am a former departmental editor of the Journal of International Business Studies and The Academy of Management Annals. I have published in various academic and practitioner-oriented journals, including the Journal of Managerial and Decision Economics, Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Organisation Science, Strategic Management Journal, Harvard Business Review, and Research in Organisational Behaviour.
I have been a pioneer of several courses at INSEAD, including the core EMBA course on Leading Organizations, and I am the program director for Insead’s flagship executive General Management programme, Transition to General Management (TGM).
