New Faculty Profiles: Tiona Zuzul
|
HBS faculty comprises more than 300 scholars and practitioners who bring leading-edge research, extensive experience, and deep insights into the classroom, to organizations, and to managers. We asked new faculty at HBS about their background, their new roles, and their interests.  Tiona Zuzul, assistant professor, Strategy
What is your educational background? Before returning to HBS, I was on the faculty at the London Business School and at the University of Washington. What’s your area of research and what led you to it? My focus on the individual-level factors that shape strategic outcomes is rooted in my professional background. I worked in psychology labs as an undergraduate, and found myself returning frequently to the ideas from this domain while working as a strategy consultant. My interest in field research (including ethnographic observation, interviews, and field-level archival analysis) developed while I was a student at HBS. I began my doctoral studies hoping to leverage the large-N, quantitative methods that are predominant in strategy. But working with and learning from ground-breaking qualitative researchers (both inside and outside my faculty unit) convinced me of the immense value of this approach in understanding how individuals shape firm strategy and outcomes. What will you be teaching here? What would you be doing if you weren’t a professor? Where are you from? What is something you like to do outside of your academic work? What’s your favorite book, movie, or piece of art? |
