Forrest Briscoe, PhD - Penn State Smeal College of Business

Much of Dr. Briscoe’s research focuses on organizations adopting new practices and strategies, as their industries and fields experience change. He is especially interested in how organizational decision makers behave when new changes are controversial, with stakeholders advocating both for and against them. He has examined a range of new practices for this purpose, including those related to corporate social responsibility (CSR), resource allocation, workforce diversity, and supply chain management. Dr. Briscoe also studies the effects that new and changing organizational practices have on employees. In those studies, he is particularly interested in how changes are affecting professional employees, whose traditional ways of working are often being challenged and disrupted.
