Associate Professor with Tenure, Department of Management; Gina and Anthony Bahr ’91 Professorship in Business, Department of ManagementBiography
Yonghoon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Management at Mays Business School, Texas A&M University with Gina and Anthony Bahr `91 Professorship in Business.
Yonghoon studies networks, social categories, and inequalities therein. More specifically, he is interested in how people from disadvantaged social categories, such as novices and gender/racial/ethnic minorities, manage their networks and work to overcome the predicaments they face in their “entrepreneurial” careers—like the careers of creative workers, service professionals, corporate directors, and, of course, those in academia. He draws on both archival field data and controlled experiments.
He was previously at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and got his Ph.D. in Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. Before that, he studied for BE & BBA, and MS at Korea University.
His name in Korean is 이용훈, pronounced as “YO-ONG-WHO-EN” (IPA: /ˈjoʊŋhuːn/).
