Jegoo Lee
Assistant Professor
Jegoo Lee joined the USF community as an assistant professor of management in the College of Business in Summer 2009. As a business ethicist and corporate responsibility scholar, his main research curiosity aims “how and why actors’ moral/immoral norms or behaviors influence or are influenced by their social relationships.” In addition, he inquires the anticipatory factors as well as impacts of firms’ stakeholder management and environmental performance. He is extending these approaches to ethical leadership, effective collaboration networks, and institutional entrepreneurship process.
He earned his Ph.D. at Boston College, and studied at University of Chicago, Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania, and Yonsei University in South Korea. Before coming to the academe, he has worked as a social entrepreneur at Bangkok, Thailand, and as a research consultant at Seoul, Korea. He enjoys modern architecture, documentary films, and Thai foods. An avid sports fan, he loves playing, watching, coaching and researching sports games.
