Bio
Ramkrishnan (Ram) V. Tenkasi (Ph.D., Organizational Behavior, Case Western Reserve University) is currently a professor with the Ph.D. Program in Organization Development at Benedictine University. He started his academic career as an assistant professor with the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, Los Angeles in 1993 and joined Benedictine University in 1998 as an associate professor. His research and practice interests are in the areas of organizational knowledge, learning, and change and their mediation/moderation by organizational design choices including the role of information technologies in facilitating/inhibiting these processes in organizations. He approaches the study of these issues from both interpretive and positivist frameworks usually combining these traditions to draw on their unique strengths. Multiple grants from federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation and Department of Defense, and several corporations such as Motorola, Hewlett-Packard, Lucent Technologies, Texas Instruments, Allied Signal, Merck, Pfizer, Pratt and Whitney, and Procter and Gamble have funded his research in the above areas. He serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Organizational Change Management and has been a program review panel member for the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, and is currently part of a core team brought together by the National Cancer Institute to assist in the identification of effective implementation systems for tobacco control in the United States. He is also the Division/Program Chair-Elect for the Organization Development and Change Division of the National Academy of Management. His more than 50 articles and book chapters appear (or are scheduled to appear) in both academic and practitioner outlets. He is also a reviewer for several leading journals of the field.
