Assistant Professor, General Management & Strategy
Lee Watkiss draws on organizational theory and cultural analysis to explore how firms can influence the creation and alteration of the product and market categories they inhabit as well as how these categories provide stability for firms as they navigate turbulent environments.

He also teaches in the Ivey Frontline Leadership Program. While at Boston College, he received both the Donald J.
