Michael Jensen’s research focuses on the role of social structures in markets. He views markets as social structures that encompass social networks and market identities, both of which shape economic opportunities. Within this broad theoretical framework, he focuses on status, theorized initially as positions in social structure, but more recently also as an important aspect of market identities, and on developing a role-theoretic perspective on reputation.
Jensen teaches corporate strategy, strategic alliances, and social networks in the BBA, MBA, and Ph.D. programs and received the 2003 BBA Student Award for Teaching Excellence. He is an International Research Fellow at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation.
