Santi Furnari is Senior Lecturer in Strategy at Cass Business School, City University London. Santi has two main research interests. First, he studies how innovation emerges at the intersection of multiple institutional fields and sectors, where different cultural logics and political interests overlap. Second, Santi does research on the relationship between organizational structures and firm performance. He studies the first topic from the perspective of institutional theory. He studies the second topic from the perspective of configurational theories of organization design, using fuzzy-set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA) to detect the relationship between organizational configurations and performance.
Santi’s papers have been published in the Academy of Management Review, Organization Studies, Research in the Sociology of Organizations, Strategic Organization, the Academy of Management Best Paper Proceedings, and in edited books published by Edward Elgar and Routledge. His research has received the EGOS 2009 Best Student Paper Award, a nomination for the Louis R. Pondy Best Paper Award at the 2012 Academy of Management Meeting, and a second runner-up award at the Organization Science 2010 Winter Conference.
