welcome Michael Ryall

We’re excited to welcome Michael Ryall as a guest blogger.  Mike is an Associate Professor of Strategy at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.  His research focuses on the formal theoretical foundations of business strategy.  You can find additional details (publications etc) on his website.

Mike is also behind the Strategy Research Initiative (SRI), a call for more high-quality research in strategy.  You can learn more about the initiative from a piece Mike et al published in Strategic Organization last year:  “The Strategy Research Initiative: Recognizing and Encouraging High-Quality Research in Strategy.”  Among other things, SRI also put together a joint paper workshop/conference with ASQ last summer.

If you have seen Mike present, you’ll know that he has an opinion (we posted about this earlier this year).  Refreshing.

Welcome Mike!
