our research
Our research goal is to generate
knowledge that is academically sound yet practically useful
for those involved in managing and leading organizations.
We aim to accomplish this by engaging scholars with an
interest in real-world problems, as well as practitioners
with a scholarly mindset. We believe that orchestrating
a productive interplay between practice-oriented thinkers
and thoughtful doers is the best way to integrate the theory
of management with the practice of management.

we are open to any research areas that promise to advance
the understanding and practice of Market Based Management,
below are some of our other research endeavors:

Compensation
Institute scholars
are using our experimental economics laboratory to
assess the interplay between individual risk preference
and performance under different incentive systems. |

Mental models
Beginning with an
assumption that mental models – the intellectual
structures and concepts that help us make sense of
the world – drive thinking and therefore action,
our researchers are developing methods of identifying
what mental models decision-makers are using, which
can then be helpful to organizations seeking to craft
the best training and development programs for employees,
as well as to people charged with assessing the effectiveness
of such programs. |

Culture assessment
We are developing
a capability for understanding the underlying assumptions
and values in an organization that truly drive its
culture. This can be valuable to any leader or manager
who wants to improve organizational performance, as
well as those who want a better understanding of their
organization’s strengths, weaknesses, and capabilities. |

Case studies and best practices
We have found that often there is very practical
and valuable knowledge in well-conducted case studies
of organizational successes and failures. For this
reason we are conducting case studies of attempts to
implement Market Based Management as a total system,
as well as attempts to implement some of its component
parts (such as internal markets). |
