Passionate about nature and the relationship between organizations and the natural environment, I investigate how decision makers within organizations interpret and respond to the natural environment stimuli, such as climate change, natural disasters or the natural landscape, using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
I developed my research interest and experience with organizations and natural environment thanks to different experiences in Italy and abroad (America, Asia and Africa), and from the academic training in business schools in Europe (Bocconi, ESADE), America (University of California, Babson College) and Asia (Indian Institute of Management).
