Exploring the intersection of AI and business

Economics of disruption

I study how technology reshapes the economics of value creation—particularly how AI is forcing organizations to rethink what they do and how they do it.

As an economist, I see business through the lens of incentives, competitive dynamics, and resource allocation. When new technology changes the fundamental cost structure of production or distribution, everything shifts—where competitive advantage comes from, what processes actually matter, and how organizations create value for their stakeholders.

I've watched this play out up close in higher education, an industry losing its old monopoly on knowledge. But every industry is next.

I write about the intersection of strategy, economics, and technological change, and I teach it in Webster University's MBA program. Mostly, I'm interested in working through these transformations with the leaders and organizations living them.

The questions that drive me: What does value creation look like when AI democratizes capabilities that used to be scarce? How do organizations adapt when the economics of their industry fundamentally change? How should strategy shift when marginal costs approach zero? And what will be the social impact of this next technological revolution?
