I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University. I received my PhD in Management (Strategy) from Columbia Business School, where I was also a Postdoctoral Fellow in Business, AI, and Democracy. At the Sy Syms School of Business, I teach the core Principals of Strategy course for undergraduate business majors, and a course on building and scaling startups in the MBA program.

My research is centered at the intersection of information technology, human resource management, and personnel economics. Advances in generative AI, human resource management systems, and job platforms are transforming how firms compete for talent, how they match workers to projects and tasks, and how they motivate and retain their employees.  My research examines the causes and consequences of these changes to better understand both how firms and organizations can use human capital as a source of competitive advantage, and also how workers can thrive in the generative AI economy. Additionally, I am interested in introducing new methodological tools for business research. My research has been published or is forthcoming in leading management and economics journals including Management Science, Strategic Management Journal, and The Review of Economics and Statistics, in addition to general interest outlets such as the Harvard Business Review.

I welcome opportunities to collaborate with organizations interested in integrating generative AI and data-driven approaches to improve talent management and organizational strategy. To learn more or explore potential partnerships, please reach me at patryk.perkowski@yu.edu.
