Mark's first reaction as he receives the iLab Award:
"I really like the idea behind the award - to encourage novelty but never at the expense of scholarship."
About Mark's Work
"I study people by living with them under the same conditions - trying to understand how and why their world makes sense (to them). My work, random though it seems at times, appears to converge on four areas:
(1) The experience of being human in high-performance environments;
(2) the human imagination of human importance in strategy;
(3) the possibility AND scope of strategic choice; and
(4) the causal explanations we give of why things are as they are and not otherwise
in a world of (mostly) unique events. "
