A "Stern" reminder that excellence speaks for itself 🤭 Nice job, NYU Stern! ! 👏 [LINK] tinyurl.com/yf6dnfn8 #businessschool #highereducation #rankings

Excellent motivation for studying #economicsociology (stated about #culturalanthropology, but I think the lesson holds for us, too!) #socialscience #research

Thanks so much to the team at XSEED for having me on the board - I look forward to working with this upcoming cohort of talented founders! #Entrepreneurship #management #training tinyurl.com/muj7k8mw

Brb, just found my new writing routine.

Does #networking feel inauthentic? You might be doing it wrong. Wise words from my new colleague, @suzywelch.bsky.social “Take the time you waste networking and commit to learning how to be a friend to people.” @NYUStern @nyuniversity 🔗 tinyurl.com/bd35wybv

As an #entrepreneurship scholar, it's great to see both my alma mater (@Cornell) and my current employer (@nyuniversity) on PitchBook's list of top universities for producing startup founders. #Gobigred and #NYUViolets! [LINK] tinyurl.com/4yh9p3e4

🚨 We’re hiring at @NYUStern 🚨 Our Management & Organizations group is recruiting a TT Asst. Prof. (start: Fall 2026) who spans #OT + #OB. I'm a newbie myself, but I can already tell this is a special place. Feel free to DM with Qs! tinyurl.com/23mm4hdy

"only a small part is played in great deeds by any hero.” (Tolkien, 1973, p. 323)

Thrilled to present at West Coast Research Conference 2025. It was an honor to share my work with scholars whose research I’ve been building on for years. Huge thanks to the organizers! #WCRS2025

Very important graph. Tl ; dr - #entrepreneurship has been booming in the US for the past few years. Will it last...? (from @erikbryn.bsky.social)

Just started "Anointed" by Toby Stuart and I’m hooked. A sharp, readable dive into how social #status shapes trust, inequality & opportunity - and how tech might alter these dynamics. And, very clear, relatable writing. Highly recommended. #sociology #strategy #Anointed

“Man will only become better when you make him see what he is like.” - Anton Chekhov

As the #tradewar spreads to AI chips, Chinese #entrepreneurs and incumbents are racing to build alternatives to Nvidia. Backed by state support and big incentives, a surge of innovation is reshaping the #AI hardware race. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/tech/ai/alib...

After Katrina, FEMA prioritized housing & rebuilding - but overlooked #socialcapital. Relocating residents far from home fragmented communities & eroded the culture that made New Orleans resilient. Policies that ignore bonds risk hollowing communities out. tinyurl.com/mrxpwuss

[seen on my walk to work today] Wow, tech anxiety is really heating up.

What would Alexis de Tocqueville have thought of @bsky.app …? #networks #socialcapital

How does #socialcapital impact the effect of #microfinance on #entrepreneurship? Just back from Oaxaca w/ my colleagues, where I saw firsthand how #trust, #reciprocity & #socialties shape firm outcomes in group lending. Excited to dive into the data, and to return to Oaxaca!

We debate which decisions can be handed to #AI. Drawing on Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, Elad Uzan at @ox.ac.uk argues that AI will hit hard limits in abstract realms like ethics, facing truths it can’t prove or justify. Some domains must remain human turf (for now). aeon.co/essays/what-...

Our new #article with Craig-Scheckman and Ishiwatari: State, Market, or Community? Exploring Public Perceptions of Disaster Management Strategies TL;DR: women, elderly, high social capital, and displaced people favor community-focused approaches. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” - (commonly attributed to) Mahatma Gandhi

It's been fascinating to watch @Palantir 's strategies for seizing two kinds of opportunity: riding the market-hype of #AI through bold product bets, and embedding itself in the machinery of geopolitics. Each has yielded distinct returns and repercussions. www.wsj.com/tech/palanti...

#AI is making it harder to tell who actually created what. That uncertainty is quietly reviving #status markers we thought we’d moved past: when we can't judge the quality of work products, we look for (often noisy) #signals to judge the quality of the worker. tinyurl.com/d6endnv2

"Music is an important context for management scholars because it's an activity where we can be fully human." - R. Edward Freeman At #AOM2025, Skyler Clark-Hamel and I explored what #musictheory can teach #organizationtheory. We thought it’d be niche; 125+ showed up. Thanks all!

"[I]t is hardly possible to overrate the value ...of placing human beings in contact with persons dissimilar to themselves, and with modes of thought and action unlike those with which they are familiar...[this] has always been...one of the primary sources of progress." -John Stuart Mill

“Tis profitable for us both that I shou'd labour with you to-day & that you shou'd aid me tomorrow. I have no kindness for you & know you have as little for me. I will not, thus, take any pains upon your account;...both of us lose our harvests for want of mutual confidence & security” - David Hume

Wang Ning, founder of @popmartglobal.bsky.social, is now China’s 10th richest person thanks to the global frenzy around #Labubu dolls. A case study in how #hype, cultural crossover, and #entrepreneurial execution can turn a niche product into billions. lnkd.in/eF5KexGE @forbes.com

As traditional sources of #research funding become contested, some labs are turning to #privateequity to pick up the slack: www.statnews.com/2025/06/16/h...

🎶 UPDATE for #AOM2025! 🎶 Our symposium on Music Theory in Management & OT has a new time/place (we needed a bigger, soundproof room 😎): 🗓️ Monday, July 28 ⏰ 3:30–5:00PM 📍 Bella Center MR173 [LINK]: Session 10023 - cdmcd.co/gandJq Join for music, research & food!

From Athens, with love 🇬🇷 Grateful for the thoughtful feedback on my work at #EGOS2025 and for the chance to reconnect with old friends & meet new ones. Huge thanks to the organizers of Sub-theme 17 on #entrepreneurship & #social mobility - what a fantastic group!

The House just passed the Fair Investment Opportunities for Professional Experts Act. If it clears the Senate, we may expand beyond wealth as a proxy for sophistication in Reg D deals and into expertise, thus expanding #investor pools in private markets. tinyurl.com/3jccsxe4

In the fictitious city of Ersilia, relationships were the city. Strings marked trade, blood, authority. Eventually, they became so entangled the city had to be abandoned. So too with our #socialnetworks and #socialcapital: when do they empower vs entrap #entrepreneurs?

What a week in #Banff! Grateful for two inspiring conferences — AIC and Reversing the Arrow — and great conversations on #entrepreneurship & #society. Thanks to the organizers and all the brilliant folks I got to learn from and laugh with!

“A model is a lie that helps you see the truth.” - Howard Skipper

Just finished "Building Resilience" by @danielaldrich.bsky.social. insights from the Tokyo & Kobe earthquakes, 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, & Katrina in #NOLA show how #socialcapital shapes disaster recovery. Great read for #socialcapital scholars. #politicalscience #research

Thank you, Toby Stuart, for visiting us at the Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Tech theme @CornellMBA - what a way to end the season. We appreciated you being so generous with your time, and for your insights on age-related hiring in #startup firms. Please come back soon.

🎶 We Got the Beat🎶 Join us at #AOM2025 for a one-of-a-kind panel/concert exploring how music shapes how we think about orgs—feat. performances by scholars-musicians. 🎤 Monday, July 28th, 2025, at Bella Center in Hall A- A1-m7; 5:15PM - 6:45PM CEST @aom-omt.bsky.social #AOMMOC

Very cool application of #socialscience research by the amazing Management & Technology group at @bocconi.bsky.social #CatholicChurch #Conclave #Pope #networks www.linkedin.com/posts/univer...

Even failed founders win. 🚀 Nahata (2016) finds that #VCs give better deal terms to serial entrepreneurs—even those with past failures—than to first-timers. Experience has value beyond success. sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Entrepreneurship #VentureCapital #Startups #EconTwitter

A sharp and cogent analysis of Theranos: has the growth of private equity markets created an environment where compelling narratives and elite status signals can override due diligence - leading to unchecked hype, minimal oversight, and widespread harm? repository.law.miami.edu/umblr/vol28/...

What a weekend at @rotmanschool ! Grateful to share work with Shon R. Hiatt, Wesley Sine, and @Ryan_Coles, & discuss the role of management in emerging markets with so many brilliant minds. Thanks to all organizers! #emergingmarkets #strategy #development #research

How does brokerage shape innovation when brokers span multiple networks? Leif Brändle and co-authors show that brokers enable ties in similar domains but block them across tech boundaries - especially to protect advantages in emerging tech. [LINK] journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5...

As a researcher, I've been thinking about how we read - and why. This great piece by Kasurian explores what we’ve lost in moving from deep, leisurely inquiry to fast, distracted consumption. A love letter to curious minds. #reading #research #culture 🔗 kasurian.com/p/research-a...
