Nien-he Hsieh
Visiting Scholar
Nien-hê Hsieh is the MBA Class of 1953 Visiting Associate Professor of Business Administration in the General Management Unit. He is visiting from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania where he is an Associate Professor in the Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department with a secondary appointment in the Department of Philosophy, and serves as Co-Director of the Wharton Ethics Program. His research focuses on ethical challenges that arise in the context of global business activity and the role of individuals, organizations, and institutions in addressing them. At Wharton, he teaches courses on ethics, corporate responsibility, and social impact in the undergraduate, MBA, doctoral, and executive programs. At Harvard Business School, he will be teaching "Leadership and Corporate Accountability" in the MBA Required Curriculum. Professor Hsieh's current work focuses on developing a framework to provide guidance for business leaders managing in contexts where institutional arrangements are weak, incomplete, or contested. The project follows his research on evaluating institutional arrangements that structure economic production, decision-making in the face of incommensurable values, the moral dimensions of work, and the role of multinational enterprises in assisting persons whose basic needs are not met. His work has been published in Business Ethics Quarterly, Economics and Philosophy, The Journal of Political Philosophy, Philosophy and Public Affairs, Social Theory and Practice, Utilitas, and various other journals. At Wharton, Professor Hsieh has been involved in expanding curricular and co-curricular offerings, having developed the Undergraduate Secondary Concentration in Social Impact and Responsibility and serving as its faculty coordinator. He also chaired the Wharton Faculty Committee on Social Impact and Responsibility and helped to establish the Non-Profit Board Leadership Program and the Penn Social Entrepreneurship Mentoring Program. Professor Hsieh holds a B.A. in Economics from Swarthmore College, an M.Phil. in Politics from Oxford University, and a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University. Before joining the faculty at Wharton in 2001, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Business School, and he has held visiting fellowships at Harvard University, Oxford University, and the Research School for Social Sciences at the Australian National University.
