Marco Minervini

Hi! My name is Marco and I am an Assistant Professor at IE Business School. In my research, I investigate how decisions on the distribution of employees in space and time affect organizational dynamics, design, innovation, and performance.

Prior to joining IE, I was Postdoctoral Fellow in the Organizations & Algorithm Project at INSEAD. I earned my Ph.D. at Bocconi University, Milan (Italy). I earned a M.Sc in Economics and Management of Public Administration and International Institutions and B.Sc. in Economics and Management also at Bocconi. Prior to joining academia, I worked in a Digital Advertising Company and interned in a NGO.

Research Interests

In my research, I investigate how the design of the spatial and temporal distribution of employees impacts organizational dynamics and performance. I rely primarily on quantitative methods combined with multiple computational techniques (text analysis, simulation methods, and social network analysis) and new data sources (text from fully online experiments, data from massive online competitions, and digital exhaust from company internal communications, e.g. emails, chats, video calls).

I aim to understand:

1) how organizational design choices, consequential to the remote distribution of organizational members, affect collaboration dynamics, learning and ideation in creative problem solving and learning activities.

2) how changes in the spatial distribution of organizational members affect the structure of the informal organizational network as well as formal aspects of organizational design, and how they mutually influence each other.
