OUR SPECIAL GUESTMarch 17th, we are pleased to host Johnathan Cromwell of University of San Fransisco School of Management. Jonathan will give us some insight on how the epidemic is affecting the startup and entrepreneurial ecosystems within which he serves, as well as provide advice to entrepreneurs.
Johnathan Cromwell is an Assistant Professor in the department of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Strategy, and International Business at the University of San Francisco. His research focuses on creative problem solving in organizations, particularly how entrepreneurs and teams tackle vague, open-ended, and ambiguous problems. Through this research, he is developing a new theoretical framework called "dynamic problem solving" that explains why, when, and how people dynamically change between different problem-solving styles as they respond to changing environmental conditions in the market. This work has been recognized by the Academy of Management with the 2018 OB Division Best Paper Award. He earned an S.B. in Chemical-Biological Engineering from MIT and a Doctorate in Management from Harvard Business School.
