Bio:

Richard D'Aveni, Professor of Strategic Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, joined the Tuck faculty in 1988.

Professor D'Aveni's areas of expertise include business and global strategy as well as organizational design and theory. Likened to a revolutionary and a master of the strategic arts by Fortune Magazine, Dr. Richard D'Aveni lives up to his reputation by advising executives on how to be a revolutionary, and others on how to create order out of the chaos that revolutionaries cause.

Professor D'Aveni is the author of several books, including Hypercompetition, a ground breaking book translated into nine languages that coined the frequently used term "Hypercompetition" - for the revolutionaries and those in rapid change environments. He serves as a consultant for many Fortune 500 corporations, including Aetna Insurance, AGFA, Armstrong Industries, Citicorp, Corning, Creative Labs, Dun & Bradstreet, General Electric, General Motors, and Motorola. Professor D'Aveni is a regular speaker at executive education programs throughout the world, including the Wharton School and programs in Israel, Japan, Mexico, Vietnam, and throughout Europe, South America and the USA. He is also a regular speaker at CEO Forums, including Ambrosetti Group (Italy), The Conference Board, The Global Panel (Netherlands), IBM Electric Utility CEO Forum, Invest Corp., World Economic Forum (Davos, Switzerland), Young President's Organization (YPO), and venture capital fund conferences for their portfolio companies. His personal experience includes being the CEO and Founder of RadStrat.com, a developer and provider of web-enabled software tools and data for strategy/marketing/product design professionals and for large companies who need enterprise wide strategic analysis tools for competitive intelligence and electronic command centers used for playing the global chess game.

Professor D'Aveni has won the prestigious A.T. Kearney Award and was credited with developing a new paradigm for strategic thinking. Wirtschafts Woche (the German equivalent of Business Week) named D'Aveni one of America's leading management thinkers for the future. His educational background credentials are: A.B., Cornell University; J.D., Suffolk University; M.B.A., Boston University; Ph.D., Columbia University; CPA, Massachusetts.
