Asst Prof Chiu Shih-ChiI categorize my research interests into three areas of study: (1) executive succession, (2) corporate governance, and (3) corporate social responsibility. Specifically, my research lies in the timing and nature of the executive succession phenomenon associated with different stages of firms in the organizational life cycle, critical organizational events, and corporate governance mechanisms in the firm. My papers related to these research topics have been presented at several international conferences and have resulted in multiple nominations for the best paper awards. My primary research goal is to advance our understanding of how CEO situational differences and governance attributes might influence a firm’s strategic actions and different aspects of organizational performance.

Asst Prof Hallam StevensMy research focuses on the intersection between information technology and biotechnology. His forthcoming book -- Life out of Sequence: bioinformatics and the introduction of computers into biology (http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/L/bo16744390.html) -- is an historical and ethnographic account of the changes wrought to biological practice and biological knowledge by the introduction of the computer. Especially in highly computerized fields such as genomics, the computer has changed how biologists work, how biologists collaborate, and how biologists make knowledge. I am currently working on two other book projects. First, I am writing a general audience book about biotechnology under the title "Biotechnology and society." This book will examines the social, cultural, political, and economic effects of biotechnologies from a range of disciplinary perspectives (including history, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy). Second, I am co-editing a book with Sarah Richardson (Department of History of Science and Department of Women and Gender Studies, Harvard University) that reflects on recent developments in the biosciences from a social science perspective. The tentative title of that work is "Postgenomics." I am also working on several new projects that examine the production of knowledge in the biosciences in Singapore and Asia. These projects examine, amongst other things, the use of laboratory spaces and the use of 'big data' in scientific work.
Asst Prof Julien CaylaMy first research stream has to do with the politics and dynamics of consumer culture in India, looking more specifically at the nexus between marketers, cultural producers and consumers and their relationship to the globalizing Indian economy. This research stream is at the intersection of South Asian studies, history, anthropology and consumer culture theory. My second research stream can be called Inside Marketing, and has to do with the inner workings of the marketing profession i.e. the beliefs and practices of marketing professionals, and other cultural producers participating in the construction of markets. The book I edited with Detlev Zwick, on this research stream, titled Inside Marketing was published in 2011 by Oxford University Press and has received very favorable reviews. In Organization Studies, James Fitchett calls Inside Marketing “one of the most important collections on marketing published to date”.
