Teaching

At Warwick University I teach courses in decision-making, with applications to business and strategy, as well as a statistics course. I have received teaching awards for "Outstanding Contributions to the Masters Programs" four years in a row.

Quantitative Methods for Business (Masters Level Course)

Provides an introduction to quantitative methods and statistics to students from non-numerical backgrounds. We explain and illustrate the use of descriptive statistics, probability theory, hypothesis testing as well as regression. The focus is on explaining the basic ideas and the essence of the algorithms, to enable students to perform and understand data analyses in business settings.

Most recent average rating: 4.85 / 5 (450 students)

Judgment and Decision-Making (Masters Level Course)

This course provides an introduction to the psychology of decision-making and its implications for understanding decisions by competitors, managers and consumers. We examine when and why simple heuristics for making decisions can lead to costly mistakes, how such mistakes can be avoided, but also when mistakes by competitors or consumers lead to strategic opportunities and arbitrage possibilities in markets.

Average rating: 4.7/5.

At Oxford I taught strategy and management essentials to undergraduates, using a combination of lectures and small group teaching (tutorials). At Stanford I taught organizational theory and a phd course on modeling and theory development. I also developed a novel MBA elective on organizational learning. The course examined how managers and entrepreneurs could adapt and learn from feedback. In addition, we discussed biases in learning to identify opportunities in markets: opportunities exist when firms make mistakes and when they fail to learn effective practices. At Stockholm School of Economics I taught and coordinated the core strategy course.
