Profile
Ben Gomes-Casseres works on global strategy, with a focus on business combinations. He has researched this topic for 20 years, taught it to MBAs and executives, and consulted with major companies in the United States and abroad. He is best known for his work on alliance strategy, but has also written and consulted on international management, competitive strategy, technology policy, mergers and acquisitions, and organizational development.
Ben has written or edited four books in these fields; his latest book Mastering Alliance Strategy: A Comprehensive Guide to Design, Management, and Organization (with Bamford and Robinson; Jossey-Bass, 2003) gives practical advice on how to use alliances in business strategy. His articles have appeared in Harvard Business Review, Financial Times, Strategy & Business, Sloan Management Review, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Journal of Financial Economics, and elsewhere. His work has been cited widely, including in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Forbes. He wrote cases at Harvard Business School on international strategy and is currently working on a book on the strategic use of external resources.
Ben has consulted, taught, or spoken on worldwide on international business, alliance strategy, and related topics. Before coming to Brandeis, Ben was a professor at the Harvard Business School (1985-1995), where he taught courses in international business. Before that, he was an Economist at the World Bank Group, working on projects in Latin America.
