Rich Makadok is a thought leader in strategic management research (webpage). Using his "Four Theories of Profit" framework, he focuses on developing a comprehensive overall understanding of the four main mechanisms that determine the profitability of a business (competitive advantage, rivalry restraint, information asymmetry, and commitment timing) and how those mechanisms affect each other.

He has also developed an innovative theory of hybrid governance forms that merge elements of both an organizational hierarchy and a market transaction. His empirical work focuses on developing indirect measures for the elusive concept of organizational capability and using these measures to predict the performance and strategic decisions of firms, in order to test theories of competitive advantage.

Rich's research has been honored with the Academy of Management Review's Best Paper Award in 2009, and with three awards from the Academy of Management's Business Policy and Strategy division -- the Glueck Best Paper Award in both 1997 and 2007, and Distinguished Paper Award in 2006.

John Paul (J.P.) Stephens, PhD is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, John Paul completed degrees in psychology at Morgan State University (BS) and in organizational psychology (MS and PhD) at the University of Michigan.
