ABOUT Dr. Matteo Cristofaro

Matteo Cristofaro completed his doctoral studies at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, School of Economics, Department of Management and Law in December 2016. Since January 2017, he is Post-doc research fellow in Management at the University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’, Department of Management and Law. His work draws from the established concept of bounded rationality and tries to advance the strategic/managerial decision making literature leading to a new reconsideration of executives’ actions as mostly based on cognitive errors, affective states and – in general – irrational forces. This conceptual reshaping could have an impact on how executives’ decisions are conceived and, in particular, it could help reinforce our knowledge about the psychological architecture of the firm. In this vein, he authored the recent Affective-Cognitive Theory of management decisions. Moreover, besides trying to demonstrate the reasons behind deviations from canonical decision making, he is also committed in identifying the strategies to be implemented as to reduce (or overcome) executives’ cognitive errors.

His research papers have appeared in a few refereed international journals (e.g., Journal of Business Research, European Management Journal) as well as he is reviewer and editorial board members in several international journals (e.g., Journal of Management History), and leading conferences (e.g., AoM, EURAM).

In brief, his interests lie mainly in strategic decision making, behavioral strategy and organizational adaptation.
