Jackson Lu

Welcome! I'm a 5th-year PhD candidate in the Management Division of Columbia Business School. I'll be joining the faculty of MIT Sloan School of Management in 2018. ​ My research focuses on the upsides and downsides of globalization for individuals, groups, and organizations. ​ Specifically, I study how organizationally important constructs — including creativity, ethics, and leadership — are influenced by phenomena that are increasingly prevalent across the globe. ​ I explore these questions by integrating diverse research methods (e.g., archival panels, experiments, field surveys, interviews, social networks) and statistical techniques (e.g., instrumental variable, machine learning, multilevel analysis, text analysis).
