Overview
Professor Schilke is an Associate Professor (with tenure) at the Eller College of Management, in the Department of Management and Organizations at the University of Arizona, as well as an Associate Professor (by courtesy) in the School of Sociology, and is also the Founder and Director of the Center for Trust Studies at the University of Arizona. He has teaching experience at the University of California, in Los Angeles; at the Technical University of Munich, in Germany; at the EGADE Business School of the Tecnológico de Monterrey; and at the RWTH Aachen University, in Germany.
His research interests are in the areas of microfoundations of organization theory, trust, organizational routines/capabilities, institutional theory, and also the collaboration between individuals and between organizations.
His research centers on understanding the institutionalization of the organizational phenomena, more specifically on how processes within any institution become a habit over time and how that affects the perceptions of the organizational environment, as well as its innovation and success. At a methodological level, he utilizes experiments, key informant surveys, and large archival data sets.
His projects have been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States, the German Research Foundation (DFG for its acronym in German), and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, among others.
