Sharique Hasan

I am Associate Professor of Strategy at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and Associate Professor of Sociology (by courtesy).

Background

I earned my Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in 2010. I earned my undergraduate degree from Rutgers College (in Computer Science and Philosophy) and my M.S. in Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon.

Before Duke, I was a faculty member at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business in California. I also spent a visiting year (2025-2026) at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.

Research

My primary research uses experiments and big data to study social networks, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

My research is published in leading journals such as Management Science, Strategic Management Journal, American Sociological Review, Organization Science, Strategy Science, and Administrative Science Quarterly.

At Duke, I co-lead the Innovation, Strategy, and Policy Lab with Daniel Gross. The goal of DukeISP is to advance the understanding of innovation strategy and policy.

Service

I also serve as a Deputy Editor for Organization Science and previously served as an Associate Editor for Management Science.

Teaching

My current teaching focuses on Strategic Implementation: how to organize firms to drive high-performance over the long term. I also occasionally teach PhD classes on the economics of entrepreneurship, strategy, and a methods class on field experiments in strategy.

Previously, I’ve taught the core Strategy class across several programs at Duke, and in a prior life, taught MBA classes on Social Networks.
