Yasir Dewan

Yasir Dewan is an associate professor of strategy and business policy. He views firms as embedded in a dense web of sociopolitical institutions. These institutions, including regulatory agencies, courts, news media, social movements, and ranking organizations, play a critical role in shaping both firm behavior and the consequences of that behavior. 

With this as his starting point, he investigates how social status, political ideology, and lobbying shape firms’ interactions with these institutions, and the consequences of those interactions for firm-level and society-level outcomes.

He teaches the Strategic Management core course in the Grande École Master’s program and serves as a mentor in the CARS strategic management simulation in the Master’s and MBA programs. He also teaches the Non-Market Strategy course in the PhD program.
