Jiwon Byun

Hi, I’m Jiwon. I’m a PhD Candidate in Organizational Behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, currently on the academic job market for the 2025–26 cycle.

I study how cultural boundaries and structural positions interact to shape outcomes in markets and organizations. My research focuses on cultural industries and entrepreneurship, with particular attention to digital platforms and global market dynamics. Methodologically, I draw on panel data analysis, computational text and network analysis, and agent-based modeling.
