Research Goals

My research focuses on the role that values and attitudes play in strategic decision making. Corporate governance is the process by which we create alignment between the values of a firm's strategic leaders (upper echelons) and its stakeholders (stakeholder theory) amidst organizational (managerial discretion) and environmental (institutional theory) constraints; value congruence leads to legitimacy. Good corporate governance facilitates financial and social performance as well as stakeholder satisfaction; poor governance practices increase the likelihood of organizational wrongdoing. Given the multilevel nature of the values construct, my research stream spans national, organizational, group, and individual units of analysis.
