Amisha Miller joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations in September 2023. Her research interests are decision-making practices in entrepreneurship and innovation contexts, with a focus on ramifications for inclusion and inequality. Specifically, she studies how entrepreneurs form entrepreneurial strategy when embedded in communities, and how investors evaluate startups when embedded in organizations. Recent papers examine the complementary roles of advice and experimentation when forming entrepreneurial strategy, and the effects of investor inquiry on gender disparities in investments in innovation. She has won award after award for her scholarship, and has real-world experience in a wide range of industries and organizations.
