How to Make Better Decisions
Baba Shiv is an expert in neuroeconomics. His recent work examines the interplay of the brain’s “liking” and “wanting” systems and its implications for marketing, innovation, leadership, and decision making.
Social and Organizational Change Through Public Affairs
Sarah Soule’s research examines state- and organizational-level policy change and diffusion, and the role social movements have on these processes.
