Biography

Professor Paul Gouvard holds a PhD from HEC Paris and, over the recent years, has been a visiting scholar at Berkeley Haas and an assistant professor at Università Della Svizzera Italiana. His recent work consists of two inter-twined research streams. One stream focuses on the multiplicity of ways in which an organization can be (a)typical and audience members' (such as investors or financial analysts) heterogeneous responses to (a)typicality. A second stream focuses on how organizations can have a positive impact on important societal issues, provided they successfully convey the right meanings to their audience. He is also an expert on the use of natural language processing (such as word embeddings and topic modelling) in management research. Professor Gouvard’s research has been published in leading academic journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly and the Academy of Management Review.
