Luisa Gagliardi   

I am Assistant Professor in the Department of Management and Technology at Bocconi University and I am a research affiliate at ICRIOS and GREEN Bocconi

My research examines how individual backgrounds and geographic environments shape innovation, strategy, and entrepreneurship. Individual backgrounds influence the knowledge, experiences, and perspectives on which individuals draw, while geographic environments shape their exposure to people, information, resources, markets, and problems. I study how these forces influence innovative search, entrepreneurial and organizational strategies, and ultimately outcomes for individuals, firms, and places. 

My work has been featured in the Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, the Journal of Economic Geography and Research Policy, among others. I serve on the Editorial Review Board of Organization Science.
