Research
Enrico does research at the intersection of strategy and organization theory in the context of contemporary industries that are migrating toward more fluid and project-based production. He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in the area of strategy.
His research program is driven by theoretical tensions around issues of specialization and strategic change at the individual, team, and firm level. His empirical approach primarily involves econometric studies of naturally occurring data to investigate patterns of change and performance as well as the drivers of innovation and entrepreneurship.
