Hello. I am Sharique Hasan, Associate Professor of Strategy at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and Associate Professor (by courtesy) of Sociology.
My primary research focuses on how human connection drives innovation and on designing innovation systems to foster creativity and prosperity.
I ask:
- How do social networks unlock breakthrough ideas?
- How can human and machine judgment (the ability to evaluate and discriminate among uncertain possibilities) be used to separate successful innovations from likely failures?
- And how to rethink innovation systems in the age of AI so that human creativity and potential, not just profit, is maximized?
My recent work includes measuring the commercial potential of science (Strategic Management Journal, 2025), the role of judgment in entrepreneurial idea generation, the effects of helpful behavior on long-term scientific collaboration (Organization Science, 2022), and how firms hunt for talent in labor markets (Strategic Management Journal, 2022).
Check out my research papers. My other writing is at superadditive.co.

Currently, I serve as Deputy Editor of Organization Science.
I am also a co-founder and co-organizer of the annual Conference on Field Experiments in Strategy (CFXS), which is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
