About

Hi! I am Sungyong Chang, an assistant professor of Management and Organizations at SC Johnson Graduate School of Management – Cornell University.

My research interests lie in the areas of entrepreneurship and strategy, grand challenges, and computational social science. I examine how technology shapes industries, influences firm strategy, and creates opportunities for innovation. In the healthcare sector, I examine how technological advancements help entrepreneurial firms address critical challenges, improve patient outcomes, and expand access to life-saving treatments. In cultural industries, I study how technology transforms creative markets, enabling individuals to develop their talents, reach broader audiences, and navigate industry complexities. My research leverages computational methods to analyze these dynamics at scale.  You can find my published and working papers in my CV.

I have been teaching entrepreneurship and strategy courses and overseeing business projects across various programs, including the EMBA, MBA, Masters in Management, Masters in Analytics and Management, and the undergraduate program.  I won the London Business School Best Teacher Award MiM in 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

I was a faculty member at London Business School before joining Cornell University. I earned a Ph.D. in Management from Columbia University and received the Buckley and Casson Dissertation Award from the Academy of International Business. I graduated as valedictorian with a BA in Business and Economics from Seoul National University.

I enjoy riding bicycles, reading mystery and science fiction novels, and traveling. I am also a big fan of whisky.
