About Dr. Matteo Cristofaro

Matteo Cristofaro is Assistant Professor in Management at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and Chair of the ‘Management History’ Division at the Academy of Management 2023-2027. 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 primarily based on cognitive errors, affective states, and – in general – non-rational forces. This conceptual reshaping could impact how executives’ decisions are conceived and, in particular, it could help reinforce knowledge about the psychological architecture of the firm. In this vein, he authored the recent Affect-Cognitive Theory of management decisions. Moreover, besides trying to demonstrate the reasons behind deviations from canonical decision-making, he is also committed to identifying the strategies to be implemented 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 a reviewer and editorial board member 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.
