Biography
I hold a PhD in Organization Studies from Boston College. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Resource Management at ESADE, where I teach university and postgraduate courses in Organizational Behaviour.
My research concentrates for the most part on the study of professional organizations, with an emphasis on the introduction of innovations and how these are received. Within this area my work is mainly on university reform, but I am also currently conducting research in other settings such as the pharmaceutical and the design industry. Another stream of my research focuses on the interplay between global practices and discourses and their local adaptation. I am currently conducting a study on the extent to which multinational companies adapt their HR practices to Latin American contexts. Finally I have carried out in the past work in other areas such as organizational virtues and design approaches in organizational development.
I teach Organizational Behavior, Leadership, and Organizational Culture courses in the Master of Science, MBA and Doctoral programs here at ESADE.
