SUMMARY:Ned Smith\, PhD - Kellogg School of Business\, Northwestern Univers
 ity
DESCRIPTION: \n\nNed has three main areas of research. First\, he studies t
 he effects of\nsocial structure on the behavior and decision-making of ind
 ividuals\nand organizations. His research in this area was awarded a Kauff
 man\nFoundation Fellowship in 2009. More recently\, Ned’s articles on\ni
 nvestor decision-making in the hedge fund industry (“Identities as\nLens
 es\,” Administrative Science Quarterly)\, and market responses to\nnew e
 xecutive appointments (“Better in the Shadows”) were awarded\nthe (201
 2) Best Published Paper Award by the Academy of Management and\nthe (2016)
  Best Paper Award by the Academy of Management\,\nrespectively. Second\, N
 ed works to connect research on cognitive\nprocesses and network theories 
 of social capital to better understand\nhow people utilize (and squander) 
 the resources available to them in\ntheir social networks. This research a
 nalyzes how people mentally\nconstruct their social worlds\, i.e.\, their 
 social networks\, according\nto various psychological and situational fact
 ors. Third\, Ned\nresearches colletive intelligence and the “wisdom of c
 rowds.”\nUsing empirical data from financial markets and large-scale\nex
 periments\, Ned and his collaborator\, Joshua Becker\, are seeking to\nund
 erstand the conditions–for instance\, structure and\ndecision-making rul
 es–under which a crowd will outperform the\nindividuals (even expert ind
 ivduals) comprising the crowd.\n\nRead more information on Dr. Smith\n[htt
