Alex Makarevich ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF PEOPLE MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION BARCELONA-SANT CUGAT CAMPUS
About him Alex Makarevich is an Assistant Professor in the Department of People Management and Organisation. He holds a Ph.D. in Economic Sociology from Stanford University, a M.Phil. from Oxford University, and a M.Sc. from the London School of Economics. Alex studies how network embeddedness affects organizational performance.
Previously, Alex studied corporate entrepreneurship at multinational companies. That research covered a number of topics, ranging from the use of knowledge networks in support of corporate ventures to organizational environment within the parent company, and resulted in a series of papers published by the KnowledgeSource research centre. Alex is an ad hoc reviewer for the Academy of Management Journal and the American Sociological Review. He has presented his work at the annual meetings of the Academy of Management, the American Sociological Association, and the Strategic Management Society.
His current research explores how inter-organizational ties interact with the industry environment to shape organizational outcomes in the U.S. venture capital market. This work integrates insights from networks literature and organizational ecology to arrive at a more accurate account of organizational performance and advance theoretical integration of the two research streams. Papers originating from this research examine how firms’ market niche and pattern of alliances interact to affect firms’ survival chances and the relationship between organizations’ network centrality, status, and survival in the market.

NEW FACULTY ESADE BUSINESS SCHOOL 2011-2012
Academic training > PhD in Business Administration and Management. Università Bocconi > Master of Science in Accounting and Management Control. Università Bocconi Interest Areas > Management Control Systems (MCS) Design > Organisational and Behavioural Aspects of MCS > Budgeting > Performance Measurement and Evaluation > MCS and Inter-organisational Relationships About her Paola holds a PhD in Business Administration and Management (Università Bocconi, Italy) and a Master in Accounting and Management Control (Università Bocconi, Italy). She is part of the ACFAI Accounting Group at SDA Bocconi School of Management. She has been Visiting PhD Candidate at RSM, Erasmus University (The Netherlands). She is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Financial Management and Control at ESADE. Paola believes that accounting research into companies’ management control systems (MCS) design and use can help understand managers’ behaviours and outcomes. Her research focuses on the determinants and the behavioural outcomes of companies’ top-down bottom-up budget process procedures. Her current cross-sectional field research shows that companies use a variety of budget process procedures made up of combinations of design elements, and that their procedural choice significatively depends on internal rather than external factors. Her recent case study also found that managers’ behaviour
during budget negotiations, seen as resistance to changing the budget proposal, is influenced by factors related to the characteristics of the company budget process procedure. Her ongoing research examines the determinants of budget process procedure modifications and the effects of design choices on companies’ budget process efficiency. Paola is a member of the European Accounting Association. Her working papers have been selected for discussion in international conferences. She has been involved in international research projects on MCS in inter-organisational relationships, funded by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and on the Integrative Finance Organization, funded by IBM. She has also served as organisational committee member for the international conference “Sustaining Organizational Combinations”, sponsored by Accounting, Organizations and Society (Università Bocconi, Italy, 2005).

Daniela Noethen ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF PEOPLE MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION BARCELONA-SANT CUGAT CAMPUS
About her Daniela Noethen recently completed her PhD in Business Administration (Jacobs University Bremen, Germany) and holds a Diploma in Psychology (University of Bonn, Germany, equivalent to bachelor plus master). She previously spent a year studying Psychology at the University of British Columbia (Canada). She has joined ESADE as a Assistant Professor in the Department of People Management and Organisation. Daniela Noethen believes that knowledge management becomes increasingly important in times of imminent demographic change, and that organisations must grasp the knowledge of large waves of retiring employees lest huge costs be incurred. Her dissertational research dealt with knowledge transfer in teams as one means of preventing knowledge loss. The results of her research into predictors of knowledge transfer suggest that antecedents often differ in their influence depending on the transfer behaviour examined (sharing or seeking knowledge) and the level of analysis (individual or team) (under review in
8
International Journal of Human Resource Management). In another study of intergenerational knowledge transfer, she found that there is only slightly more knowledge transfer from older to younger employees than without such an age difference between employees, and only slightly more knowledge transfer in age-diverse teams. This suggests that in order to protect retiring employees’ knowledge from being lost to the organisation, knowledge transfer must be supported more heavily. For her future research, Daniela Noethen is interested in models for measuring knowledge transfer and knowledge loss, means of preventing knowledge loss other than knowledge transfer in teams, and catalysts and obstacles to intergenerational learning in organisations. She is convinced that multilevel approaches and longitudinal field studies will help to show the way to knowledge loss prevention.
