Professor Foster’s research investigates the evolution of organizational social networks through the lens of strategic change adaptation. In particular, he focuses on discretionary intraorganizational (or informal) networks and the way individual interactions shape formal organizational structures, procedures, and routines based on individual preferences. His research program argues that organizations have an unconscious and unintended influence on individual preferences regarding interaction partners. This research contributes to the understanding of how complex social networks impact organizational strategy and effectiveness.
