Francisco Brahm

Francisco Brahm is an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School. His research seeks to understand two aspects of organisations: first, their nature—the essential forces that explain their origin as well as their function for agents and economies at large; and second, their formal structure, including vertical and horizontal boundaries, delegation and incentives systems, and the informal forces within firms such as cooperation, trust and norms, and how these impact performance. His research has been published in several leading journals including Management Science, Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, Nature Human Behaviour, and Journal of Economic Behaviour & Organization.

Francisco frequently reviews papers for academic journals and conferences and provides expert assessment of projects submitted to research funds. He continues to actively collaborate with firms in tackling managerial challenges.

He holds a Business Engineering degree and an MSc in Management from Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC) and a PhD in Management from Cambridge University. Prior to his academic career, he served as Chief Financial Officer at a building materials company, worked as a Research Associate at PUC, and was a management consultant at a boutique strategy and operations consulting firm in Chile.
