My name is Tom Kwon, and I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship at UCL School of Management.
My research lies at the intersection of technology management and industry emergence, examining how technology failure and managers’ temporal focus shape innovation trajectories in nascent industries. Specifically, my recent work explores firms' adaptation of technological trajectories in nascent autonomous vehicle (AV) and robotics industries.
I hold a PhD in Management from the USC Marshall School of Business, a PhD in Industrial Engineering from Seoul National University, and an MS and BS in Electrical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University.
