Bukky Oyedeji

Bukky Akinsanmi Oyedeji is Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School. Her research examines how firms create value from human capital, with a particular focus on how the design of physical work environments influences employee beliefs, productivity, mobility, and entrepreneurial outcomes. She studies how spatial, organisational, and human resources interact to drive collaboration, turnover, and firm performance.

Her work integrates architectural and urban design methodologies with econometric approaches to understand how human capital, workflow processes, and physical space affect knowledge flows within firms. Her research has been supported by the Strategy Research Foundation, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development population dynamics program, among others. Her findings are published in leading academic journals, including Academy of Management Journal, Strategic Management Journal and Journal of Management as well as in practitioner outlets spanning management and architecture. Her current research explores how hybrid and flexible work environments reshape collaboration, mobility, and the value firms capture from their human capital.

At London Business School, Dr Oyedeji teaches the MBA programme's Core Strategy class.

She holds an M.E.D. from the University of Lagos and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
