He was the original programme director for INSEAD’s Blue Ocean Strategy open enrolment programme, and has received several nominations for best core teacher, including as a visiting Professor at Wharton in 2003.
Professor Zemsky is a leading contributor to “value-based strategy,” which seeks to develop rigorous treatments of the verbal theories traditionally found in the strategy literature. His work covers a range of topics including the sustainability of competitive advantage, disruptive technologies, the choice of generalist versus specialist strategies, and the accumulation of intangible organizational resources. His research has appeared in leading economics and strategy journals including American Economic Review, RAND Journal of Economics, Strategic Management Journal, and Management Science. His doctoral students have been hired by leading business schools including Wharton, NYU, HEC, and IESE and have been recognized three times for having the best dissertation in strategy by the Academy of Management at their annual meetings.
Professor Zemsky received his PhD from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was recognized as the outstanding graduating economics major.
