Faculty Director

  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.

Other Stanford Business School Faculty

  Brian Lowery
Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior

Professor Lowery’s research seeks to extend knowledge of individuals' experience of inequality and fairness. His work suggests that individuals distinguish between inequalities framed as advantage as opposed to disadvantage. This finding affects how individuals perceive inequality and the steps they take, if any, to reduce it. Thus, his work sheds light on intergroup conflict and the nature of social justice.

Robert Sutton focuses on evidence-based management, the links (and gaps) between managerial knowledge and organizational action, innovation, and organizational performance.

The examples used during daily exercises were real corporate issues that showed actual examples of failures and successes. The faculty was excellent and the staff was thorough. This program reinforced for me that Stanford has one of the best business schools for executive education in the world.
