Research Goals

Hansin Bilgili’s research focuses on the structural, relational, and motivational aspects of networks in the domains of strategic leadership and corporate governance. His recent research examines the antecedents and consequences of network attributes (e.g., structural patterns and positions, relationship characteristics, actor attributes, etc.) and network dynamics within, between, and around the upper echelon of organizations. His research efforts are ultimately aimed at contributing to a socialized view of executive leadership and corporate governance.
