OMT Is thrilled to honor David Krackhardt as our 2024 OMT Distinguished Scholar.

This award recognizes a scholar whose contributions have been central to the intellectual development of the field of organization studies. As individuals, each Distinguished Scholar embodies a career of scholarly achievement and has had a significant impact on OMT scholarship. Over the past 15 years, Krackhardt’s research has focused on how the theoretical insights and methodological innovations of network analysis can enhance our understanding of how organizations function. Krackhardt has also introduced numerous methodological advancements to the field and opened up new areas of inquiry. He is the recipient of many awards and is an established intellectual leader in the OMT community. Krackhardt’s significant scholarly contributions include his pioneering idea of “cognitive social structures,” which reshaped our understanding of how individuals and groups perceive and navigate organizational relationships; his analysis of the roles of Simmelian (super-strong) ties in organizations; his work on adapting the quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) to multiple regression analyses of network data; and the development of the KrackPlot network visualization software. His published works have appeared in a variety of journals in the fields of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and management. David Krackhardt is currently Professor of Organizations at the Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy, with a joint appointment at the Tepper School of Business.

Please join us for breakfast and a chance to hear more about Dr. Krackhardts scholarship across his career.
