Conversation with POMS Fellows -Geoffrey Parker - Dartmouth Engineering
In this episode, we have a discussion with Geoffrey Parker, Professor of Engineering Director, and Director of the Master of Engineering Management Program at Dartmouth Engineering.
Professor Parker was recently awarded the 2019 Thinkers50 “Digital Thinking Award” for work on two-sided markets and the “inverted firm” whereby firms leverage network effects through external ecosystems, shifting value creation from inside to outside.
Professor Parker is also one of the more recent Fellows of the Production and Operations Management Society. Carlos Parra (Florida International University), and Sriram Narayanan (Michigan State University) were the hosts for this conversation.
Designation as a POMS Fellow is the most prestigious honor awarded by the Production and Operations Management Society, and is given for life. It is intended to recognize POMS members who have made exceptional intellectual contributions to our profession and Society through their research and teaching. Although loyal service to the Society, in administrative, elected, or editorial assignments, is not by itself a sufficient qualification for this award, it can strengthen the case of a member who has also become a thought-leader in our field. To be eligible a candidate must have demonstrated commitment to furthering the objectives of POMS (as evidenced by such indicators as membership in the Society, and active participation in POMS Colleges and meetings).
