Strategies for Organizational Success in Urban Landscapes
Societies are built from the interactions their members have with one another. These interactions, our relations, are defined by the places we inhabit, which have spatial, cultural and historical implications. My academic aspiration is to study how people function with one another, considering internal thought processes as well as factors external to us that shape our surroundings. Professionally, I am interested in examining organizational structure and wellbeing in the context of cities. More specifically, I aim to investigate the ways in which organizations can find success in cities, where competition is high and innovation is key. In these kinds of environments, sustainable business strategies may set some organizations apart. Internal systems of passing on knowledge and supporting positive worker interactions can keep other organizations afloat. My goal is to look into these aspects of organizational theory in order to understand human behavior more broadly and develop an idea of what it means for an urban-located organization to thrive.
