About Michael Hendron

I currently teach and research in areas related to innovation, entrepreneurship, growth strategy, strategy execution, and strategic decision-making. My academic expertise is built upon a foundation of industry experience including work in organizations ranging from start-ups to global diversified firms to non-profits, at all levels of management and across functional areas. In addition to operating roles in firms, I have extensive strategy and management consulting experience, including running my own consulting practice. With a partner I\'ve also developed the leading online simulation to teach principles of strategic corporate social responsibility, now used by universities across the US and around the globe. My business roots go back to working in a family retail business as well as real-estate investing. My hobbies include software development and programming (25+ years of experience) and flying sailplanes.Specialties: Strategic decision-making processes; entrepreneurship, lean design, innovation, growth strategies, strategy execution, social and organizational networks; consulting and advisory services; corporate responsibility and ethics; technology industries; software industry
