His research examines how organizations decide under uncertainty, and how those decisions determine who gets access to innovation. His work spans organizational search, technological change, and the healthcare industry, with a particular focus on how firms allocate resources and how those choices shape the diffusion of new products, drugs, and technologies.
Search & Diffusion
How organizations search rugged, shifting landscapes, and how innovations spread through networks: decomposability, distant search, bridges, and the formation of giant clusters.
Innovation & Healthcare
Drug development, expanded access, and clinical trials: when firms provide early access, how technologies race and leadership changes hands, and who benefits from innovation.
