Patrick Haack is Professor of Responsible Management in the Strategy Department at HEC Lausanne, Switzerland. Dr. Haack’s research seeks to integrate psychological and social-constructionist viewpoints within an ideational paradigm to open the “black box” of organizational and institutional processes. His specific interests include the multi-level analysis of legitimacy, the exploration of decoupling from a dynamic perspective, and questions of research design and research methodology, especially the application of experiments and formal modeling approaches in the study of institutionalization and legitimation. Dr. Haack’s research has been published in the Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Management Studies, Organization Studies, and other outlets. He is the winner of the 2017 Best Reviewer Award of the Academy of Management Review and currently serves on the editorial boards of the Academy of Management Review, Business & Society, Journal of Management Studies, and Organization Studies. Dr. Haack is the co-founder of the research network on"Microfoundations of Institutions".
