Faculty Directors

  Robert A. Burgelman
Edmund W. Littlefield Professor of Management; Director of the Executing Strategic Change Executive Program; Executive Director of the Stanford Executive Program

Robert Burgelman carries out longitudinal field-based research on the role of strategy in firm evolution. He has examined how companies enter into new businesses (through corporate entrepreneurship and internal corporate venturing as well as through acquisition) and leave others (through strategic business exit), and how success may lead to co-evolutionary lock-in with the environment. His research has focused on organizations where strategic action is distributed among multiple levels of management. He has written some 100 case studies of companies in many different technology-based industries. He currently focuses on the challenges posed by nonlinear strategic dynamics. [View Profile]

  Hayagreeva Rao
Atholl McBean Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources; Director of the Human Resources for Strategic Advantage Program; Director of the Customer-Focused Innovation Program

Professor Rao has published widely in the fields of management and sociology and studies the social and cultural causes of organizational change. In his research, he studies three sub-processes of organizational change: a) creation of new social structures, b) the transformation of existing social structures, and c) the dissolution of existing social structures. His recent work investigates the role of social movements as motors of organizational change in professional and organizational fields. [View Profile]
