Bio/Research
I joined the faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University in July 2020. I earned my PhD at the University of Alberta in Strategic Management & Organization and a Master of Environmental Management degree at Yale University.
Prior to my academic career, I worked with The Forest Trust, American Friends Service Committee, Heinrich Böll Foundation, and Global Environmental Institute in a number of managerial and consultancy roles. I have lived and worked in Cambodia, Canada, China, Laos, and the United States.
My research program centers on advancing contemporary administrative sciences. To this end, I pursue scholarship that is more contextual, integrative, robust, and responsive to societal needs. My broad research interests include: How do organizations work? How can businesses contribute to societal welfare? How can management scholarship help build a better society? Empirically, my research engages with various important matters such as forest, gender, and the future of business. In the meantime, I have a versatile research portfolio on modernizing management theory.
Below are some ongoing projects and anticipated full manuscript completion timelines.
- Cao, Ke. On entrepreneurship. 2021.
- Cao, Ke. On management theory. 2021.
- Cao, Ke, Tong, Li & Du, Yongzhi. On management theory. 2021.
- Cao, Ke. On sustainability certification in the B Corp setting. 2021.
- Cao, Ke. On advancing theory. 2021.
