Gianpaolo Abatecola received the Italian National Scientific Qualification as Associate Professor of Management in December 2013. He currently serves the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Department of Business Government Philosophy Studies, as a Senior Research Fellow in Management (equivalent to Senior Assistant Professor).

Under the supervision of Prof. Roberto Cafferata, Dr. Abatecola earned a magna cum laude Degree (laurea) in Business Administration and Management, and a PhD. in Management and Organizational Behavior (both completed at Tor Vergata). He then served the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa as a post-doc scholar.

Dr. Abatecola’s research and teaching in the management field mostly rely on two specific research methods (and, excitingly, on the potential intersection between the two): on the one hand, he attempts to adopt co-evolutionary approaches for studying phenomena associated with organizational adaptation, life cycle, and survival; on the other hand, he tries to use behavioral approaches, mainly grounded on executive/managerial personality, for interpreting issues associated with strategic decision making, problem solving, and negotiations.

Among the various outlets, his research on these themes has been published (or is forthcoming) in management and organization theory journals including: Management Decision (IF 3.8), Futures (IF 1.1), European Management Journal (IF 0.6), Journal of Management and Governance, Corporate Governance (Emerald), Journal of Management History, International Journal of Management, Journal of General Management, International Journal of Organizational Analysis, International Journal of Public Administration, International Journal of Globalisation and Small Business, International Journal of Business & Economics, Finanza Marketing e Produzione, Economia Pubblica, Economia e Diritto del Terziario, and Impresa Progetto-Electronic Journal of Management.

An active reviewer for a number of management journals, conferences, and research grants, he has co-guest edited (or he is currently) special issues for the Journal Management and Governance and for the International Journal of Globalisation and Small Business. Also, he currently seats in the Editorial Board of: International Journal of Organizational Analysis, Current Progress Journal, Graduate Journal of Research, and Undergraduate Journal of Research.

Over time, Dr. Abatecola has served, as Visiting Professor, or Guest Lecturer, the following foreign Universities: Sheffield University Management School and Sheffield Hallam Business School (UK), LEE University (USA), Metropolia Business School (Finland), Inholland University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands), Instituto Superior de Comunicaçäo Empresarial (Portugal).

With an evolving average evaluation of 3.7 out 4, at Tor Vergata he currently teaches: 1. General Management – Module I “Enterprise Evolution” (graduate level, taught in English, Master of Science in Business Administration); 2. Advanced Management (graduate level, taught in English, Master of Science in European Economy and Business Law); 3. Managerial Decision Making (graduate level, taught in Italian, Master of Science in Economics and Management). In this University, he has also taught Enterprise Management and Evolution” (graduate level, taught in English, Master of Science in Business Administration) and Real Estate Management (graduate level, taught in Italian, Master of Science in Economics and Management).

Since 2012, Dr. Abatecola has been involved in the European Academy of Management as the co-chair of the track on “Darwinism, Organizational Evolution, and Survival”. At the same time, he is also an active member of the American Academy of Management and of the Strategic Management Society. Further, he presently serves the University of Rome Tor Vergata as: 1. a faculty member (and lecturer) of the PhD. programme in Business Administration; 2. a faculty member of the Master of Science in Business Administration and the coordinator of its specialization in “Entrepreneurship”; 3. the co-programme manager (and lecturer) of the Masters in Real Estate Management; 4. the managing co-supervisor of the partnership between the Department of Business Government Philosophy Studies and CONSEL – ELIS Corporate School. He supervises a number of students at both doctoral and graduate level.
