ABOUT
Personal Statement
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Strategic Management at the University of Liverpool Management School, United Kingdom. I completed PhD in Strategy & Business Policy at HEC Paris in May 2023. I held the position of Assistant Professor in Strategy at NEOMA Business School before joining the ULMS in January 2024.
Prior to joining PhD program, I studied at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. I obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) and MSc in Law and Finance (MLF) at Oxford.
Research Overview
My research lies at the intersection of behavioral strategy and organizational design. I explore behavioral biases (e.g., inertia) in resource allocation decisions of organizations and examine various organizational design choices that may mitigate or exacerbate such biases. Specifically, I investigate how levels of financial resource reallocation vary under centralized or decentralized capital allocation processes. In another paper, I examine the role of institutional ownership in reallocation of financial resources as a response to performance feedback. In a related stream of research, I examine how managerial cognition shaped by varying experiences helps them develop superior strategic foresight. Furthering my agenda in behavioral strategy, I am developing a new project on how organizational performance on focal goals impacts the setting of aspiration levels for other goals.
