Matthew Lee is a Doctoral Candidate in Management at Harvard Business School.

Matthew's research examines how entrepreneurial organizations and their managers create social and institutional change. His latest project focuses on hybrid organizations that combine aspects of non-profits and companies to create innovative organizational forms. In particular, what leads to the creation of hybrid organizations, and what resources and social conditions allow these organizations to thrive and maintain their hybrid nature? The primary setting for this research is a novel dataset that identifies and follows more than a thousand nascent social entrepreneurs as they establish their ventures. Other, ongoing research examines factors contributing corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the role of large corporations in community welfare. Matthew's research to date has been published in Strategic Management Journal, Stanford Social Innovation Review and in other scholarly and managerial outlets.

His teaching includes serving as the head Teaching Fellow for the undergraduate social entrepreneurship course at Harvard College, which he also helped to design. He regularly facilitates for executive education programs at Harvard Business School, and serves on the advisory boards of the International Spark Program (Rep. of Georgia) and Aspire Academy (Romania), two organizations that help young people in these new democracies to explore their aspirations for leadership in business and society.
