Dr. Saeedeh Ahmadi is an assistant Professor of Strategy and Innovation at the University of Amsterdam Business School. She holds a PhD in Management from Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her expertise lies at the nexus of strategic management, innovation management, and psychology. Focusing on managerial decision-making in uncertain situations, she tries to understand what makes managers oriented toward riskier options, why some managers get out of comfort zone and why others do not or delay some actions. She is also enthusiastic about goal setting and assessing the effectiveness of managerial interventions that try to motivate variety seeking and idea generation in organizations. She has presented her research in major international management conferences such as Academy of Management and Strategic Management Society and published in Journal of management Studies and Organization Science. She has served as ad-hoc reviewer of Journal of management Studies, Psychological Reports, and Strategic Organization. Prior to entering academia, dr.
