Boris Maciejovsky

Boris Maciejovsky is an award winning researcher and teacher, a TEDx speaker, and an Associate Professor of Management. His research interests are in the area of decision-making in economic, social, and organizational contexts. He is particularly interested in developing novel laboratory paradigms that help to isolate important aspects of real-world phenomena in order to study how such features influence decisions, processes, and outcomes.

Professor Maciejovsky is specifically interested in three major themes: (i) group decisions, learning, and knowledge transfer; (ii) information aggregation in social and organizational environments, and (iii) bargaining and negotiation. His research has been published in numerous journals, including Management Science, Organization Science, Marketing Science, the Strategic Management Journal, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

Professor Maciejovsky received his Ph.D. in marketing from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and his doctoral degree in psychology from the University of Vienna. Before joining UCR, he was a faculty member at Imperial College London, the London School of Economics, the Max Planck Institute of Economics, and the Humboldt University of Berlin.
