Professor Yang's research program investigates the dual domains of organizational incentive structures and strategic complexity management. He examines how firms deploy monetary and non-monetary rewards to influence employee behavior while simultaneously analyzing how executives navigate interconnected strategic decisions in dynamic environments. His work bridges theoretical strategic management with practical human resource applications.

His recent publication in Organization Science (2025) demonstrates his focus on knowledge processing in complex problem spaces, revealing how external information sources enhance organizational learning. This research trajectory shows strong alignment with contemporary challenges in strategic decision-making under uncertainty.

As a newly appointed faculty member, Professor Yang is establishing his research agenda and actively seeking to build collaborative relationships. His international educational background and co-authorship with South Korean researchers indicate a global research perspective that offers unique opportunities for students interested in cross-cultural management studies.
