PERSONAL STATEMENT
I graduated in November 2013 with a PhD in Management and
Entrepreneurship from EMLYON Business School, France. In my dissertation
with student teams, I used social influence theory to show why members’
interpersonal communication processes overtime—their debates and conflicts
about shared tasks—can explain team innovation and effectiveness in a new
venture context. I published main paper from this work in the Journal of
Management in February 2015. I am an accomplished researcher and teacher
with considerable knowledge of both the applied research and methods
literatures, and extensive management experience. I can drew upon a deep
understanding of multilevel and longitudinal research design, measurement,
and data analysis to support research projects on many social and behavioral
science topics. In my positions as Research Fellow at University of Nordland,
Bodø, Norway and Visiting Research Fellow at Lund University, Sweden, I
am now working on several prospective and ongoing grant funded research
projects with several colleagues, which focus on new venture emergence and
early growth, including their cognitive, attitudinal and behavioral antecedents.

Comment
The combination of inputs from the general Business Administration program
and the specialized Technology Management program was a uniquely
powerful at the time. In the end, I found the questions even more fascinating
than the answers, and that was the catalyst for my move to academia.
BA 1980-1985

Economics & Philosophy, Bachelor of Arts, Two Subject Moderatorship
(BAMod),
Comment
The combination of subjects was fascinating to me at the time, while the
debates about the Cold War, Thatcherism, and Reaganomics were current
affairs, as opposed to history. However, since entering academia, my
grounding in economics, statistics, and the philosophy of science have been
more useful than I could have imagined.
