Researchers land funding from Strategic Management Society

A pair of management and human resources faculty members were recently recognized nationally and for a variety of research projects.

Assistant Professor Andrea Contigiani and PhD student Jing Tang each received prestigious grants from the Strategic Management Society’s Strategy Research Foundation (SRF). 

As part of the organization’s Research in Strategic Management (RSM) Program, Contigiani received funding for an ongoing project, “Corporate Strategy and Technological Change: Evidence from the Global Mobility Ecosystem.” The project was selected for its alignment with RSM’s 2024 theme, “New Thinking in Corporate Strategy Research,” which explores how strategic management academics can help firms and managers make choices about firm scope and boundaries.

Tang’s dissertation project, “Strategic Implications of Product Platformization,” was selected as part of the SRF’s 2024 Will Mitchell Dissertation Research Grant Program. The program supports doctoral student dissertation research in the field of strategic management by enhancing the quality, expanding the scope, augmenting the research design, or in some other way enriching dissertation projects.
