M. Dalbert Ma

I am a doctoral candidate in Strategy & Entrepreneurship at London Business School. My research focuses on the economics of artificial intelligence — how it reshapes organizational design, firm adaptation, and the structure of competition.

My job market paper received the 2026 Academy of Management STR Division Best Paper Award and is a nominee for the William H. Newman Award and the SMS Best Paper Prize. I have presented my research at Wharton, MIT, Columbia, Duke, UCL, and Bocconi, amongst many others.

Beyond academic audiences, I have published in California Management Review and Forbes, my research has been featured in Fortune, and my work on the competitive implications of generative AI has informed UK policy.

I am on the 2026/2027 academic job market.
