Fabio Fonti

Fabio Fonti is Full Professor at NEOMA Business School. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on social networks and their implications for individuals and organizations, and he currently serves as Co-President of the Social Networks Society. He also contributed to leveraging sports contexts for management research, both methodologically – by showing how sports data can test and refine management theory at scale – and empirically – by examining how relational structure and its dynamics shape performance. He is a Fellow at the Center for Sports and Business at the Stockholm School of Economics. He is also interested in institutional complexity, logics, and categorization. His work appears in journals such as Strategic Management Journal, Academy of Management Annals, Journal of Management, Academy of Management Discovery, and Strategic Organization.
