Kate Odziemkowska is an Assistant Professor at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. Her research focuses on cooperative strategy, particularly the dynamics of formal interorganizational relationships, alliances, and collaborations within nonmarket settings. Her work addresses the strategic alignment of often adversarial stakeholders including social activists, NGOs, and local communities to create benefits for firms and society at large. Dr. Odziemkowska explores how cooperative strategies can be utilized to manage nonmarket stakeholders, highlighting limitations in existing theories of interorganizational relationships when applied to nonmarket contexts. Her research further delves into the critical role of conflict networks in shaping cooperative strategies in nonmarket environments and examines how conflictual stakeholder relationships can impact firm innovation, corporate scope expansion, and political strategies.
