Srividya JANDHYALA

Srividya Jandhyala is a Professor at ESSEC Business School France since 2025, previously serving as Associate Professor (2016-2025) and Assistant Professor (2013-2016) at ESSEC's Singapore campus. She concurrently holds the position of Associate Academic Director for the SMIB Master program at ESSEC Singapore through 2026. Her academic work resides within the Management Department, focusing on international business strategy and geopolitical risk frameworks.

Professor Jandhyala's research centers on how political institutions shape global business operations, with particular emphasis on economic nationalism, sovereign wealth funds, and anti-corruption mechanisms. Her work examines how multinational enterprises navigate institutional voids and geopolitical disruptions, often using Asian contexts as critical test cases. She investigates the strategic implications of international agreements, investment treaties, and multilateral organizations on corporate risk management and innovation pathways.

Her publication portfolio reveals a clear trajectory toward increasingly complex geopolitical business analysis, culminating in the 2025 book 'The Great Disruption' which addresses how geopolitical tensions reshape corporate strategy and work structures. Recent articles demonstrate methodological sophistication in analyzing policy reversal impacts (2019), sovereign wealth fund activities (2021), and economic nationalism dynamics (2025), with consistent publication in premier journals like Strategic Management Journal and Journal of International Business Studies.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Winner, Best Proposal in Stakeholder Strategy, Strategic Management Society (2022)

Professor Jandhyala maintains active research leadership through seminar presentations at institutions including Copenhagen Business School, Indian School of Business, and National University of Singapore. Her work on international institutions' domestic effects (2023) and geopolitical trust experiments demonstrates ongoing research momentum. While specific grant details aren't public, her Strategic Management Society award and Cambridge University Press book indicate substantial research support.

Her academic leadership extends beyond publications through the SMIB Master program directorship and frequent contributions to policy discussions via outlets like ESSEC Knowledge and Columbia FDI Perspectives. The absence of dedicated lab structures reflects her focus on institutional and policy-level analysis rather than experimental or technical research facilities.
