Scholarly Interest Areas:

I have two primary areas of research. The first is focused on issues related to large- scale organizational change and transformation. In this work I take an interdisciplinary approach, bridging the gaps between management science, cognitive engineering and science, and multiple subfields within both broad areas. Included in this research is consideration of measurement of change process, comprehensive models that include multi-level factors, and the connections back to organizational design and culture.

The second area of scholarly research is focused on biculturalism. A group of scholars has been developing theory about antecedents of biculturalism, as well as types of biculturals and their cross-cultural skill sets and abilities. This is an emerging area of research with connections to multiple fields in management and beyond.

Recently, I have begun to link the focus on change with the research on biculturalism, examining the unique skill sets that these individuals may be able to bring to large-scale transformation efforts.

Selected papers:

• Managing Organizational Change, chapter included in the Wiley Handbook of Technology Management (this will be available in fall 2009).


• Wal-Mart's New Challenge: Reaching Out to Socially Responsible Investors
  
• Selected other publications are available online through major databases, and several are under review at various journals.
