Biography:
| Dr. Ciaran Heavey joined the UCD School of Business in 2009 as a Lecturer in the Department of Management. He completed his PhD at the University of Connecticut School of Business. His research interests are on top management teams, strategic entrepreneurship, and organizational ambidexterity. |
Research Interests
| My research interests straddle the inter-related domains of strategy and entrepreneurship. In particular, my current and recent research has attempted to address two central questions in strategic entrepreneurship: 1) What are the origins and outcomes of entrepreneurial strategy making in firms? 2) How can firms combine innovative activities of exploitation and exploration? In addressing these questions, my research has adopted an upper-echelon perspective, in suggesting that CEOs and their immediate cadre of executives wield a pivotal shaping influence on innovation and entrepreneurial behavior in organizations. More recently, I have drawn upon the resource-based perspective, knowledge-based view, and dynamic capabilities perspective to shed further light on these central questions.
