András Tilcsik holds the Canada Research Chair in Strategy, Organizations, and Society and is a Professor of Strategic Management at the Rotman School of Management. His research focuses on organizations, occupations, and work, and he is particularly interested in the causes and consequences of inequality in labor markets and the workplace. At Rotman, he teaches a strategic management elective on organizational failure; his book Meltdown, coauthored with Chris Clearfield, is based on this course and explores the enduring insights of organizational sociologist Charles Perrow.
