RESEARCH INTERESTS

My main line of research examines cooperation within firms and across organizational boundaries. I am
particularly interested in explaining value creation and appropriation by internal and external stakeholders
when the creation of value requires team production, which implies a tension between individual and
collective interests. To explore these issues, I often build on the literature in social psychology and
behavioral economics about cooperation in social dilemmas. For example, I have explored what these
insights imply for the design of motivational systems within organizations (Bridoux, Coeurderoy &
Durand, 2011, Academy of Management Review) and for motivating stakeholders to join the firm
(Bridoux, Stofberg & Den Hartog, 2016, Frontiers in Psychology) and to participate in the creation of
value (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014, Strategic Management Journal, 2016, Academy of Management
Review).

TEACHING

My teaching experience covers bachelor, master, and research master courses, thesis supervision, and
curriculum development. I have taught strategy courses at the undergraduate and graduate level to groups
ranging from 25 to 350 students. I developed myself, or together with colleagues, all the recent strategy
courses I taught. At UvA, I also developed and taught a number of courses aimed to prepare students to
write their bachelor or master thesis. Over the years I have supervised about 70 MSc theses and 30 BSc
theses. Since last year I am teaching two courses related to developing theory in the new Research Master
jointly offered by the VU and UvA.

Recent teaching:
Theory Building, Research MSc
Interdisciplinary Project Business in Society I, Research MSc
Strategy and Organization Design, MSc course, in the full-time and part-
time/executive program
MSc thesis supervision
