Elizabeth Lyons
I am an Associate Professor of Management at UC San Diego's School of Global Policy and Strategy. My research focuses on organizational and innovation economics with labor markets and management as a common underlying theme. I have examined how incentive design, coordination barriers, technology adoption, and inequality affect entrepreneurship, organizational performance, and innovation. I am a Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellowship in Entrepreneurship Research award winner and a UC San Diego Graduate and Professional Student Association Faculty Teaching Award winner.
In addition to research and teaching, I advise early-stage start-up founders primarily through the Wavemaker Lab, and I work with organizations across sectors and industries to improve their management practices with a primary focus on team building and incentive design.
