Panelists & Participants
Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith joined the Marriott School of Business in 2019, after spending 5 years as a faculty member at Cornell University's Johnson School of Management. His research examines the morality and ethics of organizations and the people within them, with a particular focus on three primary questions:
(1) What are the causes and consequences of (un)ethical behavior?
(2) What motivates and inspires people to be their best selves--and otherwise fulfill their potential?
(3) How can businesses and organizations help battle the world's social ills, such as poverty?
His work has been published in top-tier academic journals, such as Organization Science, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and Psychological Science. His research has been covered by various media outlets, including BBC World Service Radio, Businessweek, Forbes, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Isaac has worked with and consulted for a number of Fortune 100 companies in the financial services and high-tech industries, and he has spent time in both Mongolia and Thailand working with nonprofit organizations dedicated to reducing poverty and promoting economic self-reliance.
