RESEARCH INTERESTS
I study the process of lateral hiring to better understand (1) the routines by which organizations
discover, value, create, and utilize human capital; and (2) the impact of interfirm competition for
human capital on the turnover of high value employees.
I also publish research in the field of strategic human resource management, the study of how
organizations manage human capital to gain and maintain a competitive advantage relative to rivals.
