On Research

"I believe that human beings are critical strategic assets for firms. Unfortunately, our intuition about how to manage people can often lead us astray, which is why strong research is important in this area. Generic slogans such as 'People are our greatest asset' can only get us so far."

Research Interests

  • The impact of human resource systems and pools of human capital on firm competitiveness
  • Restructuring, downsizing, and strategic renewal in organizations
  • Organizational alignment

On Teaching

"I love it when students really embrace the material and think through the simple answers to attack the less obvious, more fundamental issues. Students respond to the level of expectations set, and when I set high expectations, they not only tend to meet them, but teaching and learning become a lot more fun."
