Lutcher Brown Fellowship
Unfilled chairs and professorships are used to support recently tenured faculty and help accelerate the success of their research through fellowships. The fellowships are one-year, nonrecurring honorific appointments. Fellows are nominated by academic leadership and selected by the provost through a competitive process.
Arkangel Cordero, Ph.D.
Lutcher Brown Fellowship
Associate Professor, Management
Arkangel Cordero’s research advances scholarly understandings of how the institutional environment affects the creation of new organizations—both independent new firms (like entrepreneurial startups) and new foreign subsidiaries of established firms. His research draws from institutional theory to understand how and through what mechanisms sociopolitical factors enable or hinder such foundings, while also contributing back to institutional theory by leveraging emergent insights from these settings.
Cordero’s research has been published in peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Business Venturing, the Journal of International Business Studies, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, and Organization Science. He has also published two book chapters and has presented research at multiple refereed conference proceedings such as the annual Academy of Management Meeting and the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) Colloquium.
Cordero joined UTSA faculty in 2016 and is passionate about teaching entrepreneurship and strategy. He aims to help his students develop skills that will empower them to successfully launch their own startups, act as intrapreneurs in corporate positions, or simply increase their own innovativeness in future undertakings.
Cordero earned his Ph.D. in Management (with a concentration in organizations, organizational behavior, and science and technology policy) from the S. C. Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. Cordero plans to leverage the funds from this fellowship to advance his research and mentor doctoral students.
