The University of New York Tirana attracts world-class leaders to speak to MBA students

?The University of New York Tirana welcomed Matteo Cristofaro, Post-Doc Research Fellow in Management, at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy as a guest speaker at the HR class of UNYT MBA Program, invited by Eriona Shtëmbari, PhD Head of the Department of Business Informatics And E-Business. During the lecture, students discussed with him the role of implicit cognitive biases in the HR selection process and how to assess soft skills. A simulation, stemming from his research findings, was done with our students, to understand to practice research and use the results in a decision-making process.
?Dr. Matteo Cristofaro completed his doctoral studies at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, School of Economics, Department of Management and Law in December 2016. Since January 2017, he is a Post-doc research fellow in Management at the University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’, Department of Management and Law. His work draws from the established concept of bounded rationality and tries to advance the strategic/managerial decision-making literature leading to a new reconsideration of executives’ actions as mostly based on cognitive errors, affective states, and – in general – irrational forces. This conceptual reshaping could have an impact on how executives’ decisions are conceived and, in particular, it could help reinforce our knowledge about the psychological architecture of the firm.
His research papers have appeared in a few refereed international journals (e.g., Journal of Business Research, European Management Journal) as well as he is a reviewer and editorial board members in several international journals (e.g., Journal of Management History), and leading conferences (e.g., AoM, EURAM)
