About Us
After six years as a professor of design and innovation at Clarkson University, Daved Barry is calling it a career.
The professor was recently named professor emeritus for his contributions to the Potsdam, New York, university, the Daily Gazette reports.
Barry's research focuses on how design, art, and the humanities can be applied to innovation, entrepreneurship, organizational design, workplace development, change, and strategy.
"His significant research and teaching experience in design-led innovation led him to become a professor of design & innovation in the School of Arts and Sciences, where he helped spur an expansion into design," Clarkson says in a press release.
"He contributed significantly to course offerings, developing and teaching a creative range of courses in innovation and design, including Design Thinking, Leading Innovation, and Portraying Innovation."
Before coming to Clarkson, Barry was a professor of creative organization studies at Copenhagen Business School, a professor of creative organization studies at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and a national chair in management studies at Victoria University in New Zealand.
He has published in leading management journals, including the Academy of Management Review, Organization Studies, Organization Science, Journal of Management Studies, Journal of Organizational Change Management, Human Relations, Journal of Management Inquiry, and Management Communication Quarterly.
