Pablo Sanz is an Assistant Professor of Business Ethics at IESE Business School. He received a Ph.D. in Strategy from the University of Michigan. He also holds an MBA from IESE Business School, an MSc in Economics from Universitat de Barcelona, and a degree in Industrial Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.
His research falls at the intersection of social movements, organizational theory, and nonmarket strategy. More precisely, his research explores the rise of digital activism and its implications for firm strategies and resources. For example, he studies the effect that activism organized on social media can have on the stock market valuation of companies, as well as how social media boycotts may inadvertently foster ideological polarization inside their targeted corporations.
Pablo is passionate about teaching in the areas of strategic management, stakeholder engagement, corporate social responsibility, and business ethics. He taught Business Strategy at the BBA program of the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, and he also developed teaching materials on stakeholder management and corporate social responsibility prior to his doctoral studies.
