Professor Christine Beckman’s research focuses on the ways in which organizations (as well as individuals) learn through their networks, and the ways in which this learning, in turn, effects an organization’s strategic decisions. Her research also focuses on how early team functional experiences, structures and affiliations evolve over time and shape organizational outcomes. Her work has focused on both established and emerging companies.

Professor Beckman research has been published in such academic journals as Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, Academy of Management Journal, American Sociological Review, and Journal of Business Venturing.  She has served as elected member of the Organization and Management Theory division of the Academy of Management and currently serves on the editorial board of Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, and Strategic Organization. She has received research funding from CRITO, NSF and NASA.
