Biography
Olivier Chatain holds a diploma from ESSEC, an MSc from the University of Paris I-Panthéon Sorbonne, and an MSc and a PhD from INSEAD.
Olivier Chatain studies how firms interact with their competitive environment, with an emphasis on developing the value-based foundations of business strategy. He has applied and further developed these methods to study how client-specific value creation affects firm strategy and the deployment of key resources. Moreover, his research has investigated how firms shape their competitive environment thanks to non-market strategies and interventions in markets for strategic resources. His current research builds on these insights to understand value creation in business ecosystems as well as how firms interact with state and non-state actors beyond the economic sphere.
His research has been published in the Academy of Management Review, Management Science, Organization Science, and the Strategic Management Journal. Prior to joining HEC Paris, Olivier was a faculty member of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. His dissertation received the AOM's Business Policy and Strategy division Outstanding Dissertation Award.
At HEC Paris, Olivier teaches competitive strategy to MBA, MSc and PhD students. Olivier served for six years as an associate editor of the Strategic Management Journal, is currently an editorial board member of Strategy Science, and is a Senior Fellow at the Mack Institute for Innovation Management at the Wharton School.
