Biography

Brian P. Reschke (Ph.D. UC Berkeley) is an assistant professor of entrepreneurship at the Marriott School. He studies the social and economic processes whereby new organizations, products, and ideas are evaluated. His research helps reveal unspoken 'rules of the market' in sites of entrepreneurship, science, innovation, and knowledge sharing, and prescribes strategies for navigating these often uncertain terrains. He utilizes data derived from a variety of sources (archives, unstructured text, field studies, experiments) and he exploits setting features and empirical designs that help rule out alternative explanations. He has a deep appreciation for the educational opportunities at BYU, where he earned a BS management degree in organizational behavior. When not working, Reschke enjoys running, cooking, hiking, reading, and spending time with wife, Cami, and four children.
