Biography

Tyler Wry studies hybrid ventures, which are organizations that combine related, potentially contradictory aims. For example, nanotechnology startups organize for the joint pursuit of scientific discovery and technology commercialization, while social enterprises work to generate profits while simultaneously addressing societal issues. Such organizations have the potential to generate important commercial and social innovations but face a number of unique challenges, particularly during the startup stage of development. Building on this, Tyler's research focuses on how hybrids emerge, attract resources, and positively affect society. His work has been published in prestigious outlets such as the Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Business Venturing, and Organization Science. He also serves on the Editorial Boards of Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, and Academy of Management Review. In his spare time, Tyler enjoys running, racquet sports, and fleeting moments of quiet.
