Professor David Teece from the University of California - Berkeley is the Thomas W. Tusher Chair in Global Business and Director of the Tusher Center on the Management of Intellectual Capital at the Walter A. Haas School of Business. He is one of the most influential management thinkers of our era with a Google Scholar citation in excess of 100,000. His influence on strategic management research and practice during the last 30 years has been nothing short of extraordinary.
David Teece almost single-handedly invented the 'dynamic capabilities' approach in strategic management that has become a core paradigm in this field of academic inquiry and is also used extensively by international business scholars. Teece's main piece on this subject has received over 25,000 citations on Google Scholar. According to Science Watch, this is the most cited article in economics and business worldwide, 1995-2005. He is also one of the top 10 cited scholars in economics and business for the decade, and has been recognized by Accenture as one of the world’s top 50 business intellectuals. His work and ideas have been central to the development of the field of strategic management.
Teece is an authority on subjects including the theory of the firm and strategic management, the economics of technological change, knowledge management, technology transfer, and antitrust economics and innovation. He has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, has held teaching and research positions at Stanford University and Oxford University, and has also received seven honorary doctorates. He is author of over 200 books and articles, and is the editor of "Industrial & Corporate Change" (Oxford University Press). David Teece has been instrumental in ending the 'inhospitability tradition' in US courts vis-à-vis transaction-cost-reducing and efficiency enhancing strategic decisions made by business forms (e.g. anti-trust cases in the context of vertical integration, mergers, acquisitions etc.). In 2010, Teece co-founded Berkeley Research Group, LLC, an expert services and consulting firm of economists and other professionals with expertise across economics and finance, data analytics and statistics, and public policy in sectors including healthcare, banking, information technology, energy, construction, and real estate.
