Dr. Cordero's research examines how institutional environments shape new organization creation, including entrepreneurial startups and foreign subsidiaries of established firms. Applying institutional theory, he investigates sociopolitical mechanisms enabling or hindering founding events while advancing theoretical frameworks through empirical insights from these contexts. His work bridges entrepreneurship, international business, and organizational sociology.

His 2019-2023 publications reveal consistent focus on sociopolitical influences in venturing: natural disaster impacts on entrepreneurship (2023), political tenure effects on multinational enterprise location (2019), crowdfunding adoption across political cultures (2021), and theoretical integration of neoinstitutional perspectives (2022). These studies demonstrate methodological diversity across business venturing, international business, and entrepreneurship theory domains.

As an educator, Dr. Cordero teaches entrepreneurship and strategy courses designed to cultivate student innovativeness for startup launch, corporate intrapreneurship, or career advancement. His advising role for Ph.D. candidates contributes to the Alvarez College of Business's teaching excellence mission, though specific advisees aren't listed in available materials.
