Faculty Directors

  Margaret A. Neale
John G. McCoy-Banc One Corporation Professor of Organizations and Dispute Resolution, Stanford Graduate School of Business; James and Doris McNamara Faculty Fellow for 2006-07; Director of the Influence and Negotiation Strategies Program, Mergers and Acquisitions Program, and Managing Teams for Innovation and Success Program

Margaret Neale’s research focuses primarily on negotiation and team performance. Her work has extended judgment and decision-making research from cognitive psychology to the field of negotiation. In particular, she studies cognitive and social processes that produce departures from effective negotiating behavior. Within the context of teams, her work explores aspects of team composition and group process that enhance the ability of teams to share the information necessary for learning and problem solving in both face-to-face and virtual team environments.

  Deborah H. Gruenfeld
Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford Graduate School of Business

Deborah Gruenfeld is a social psychologist whose research shows how social structure affects the working of the mind. Her current research examines the psychological consequences of having power, which include an action-orientation, the tendency to objectify others, effects on ideological beliefs, and disinhibited behavior. She also has studied group decision making, and has written about, for example, the effects of majority and minority status on reasoning by members of the U.S. Supreme Court, and how newcomers and minority members affect generation, sharing and adoption of new ideas in small groups.
