Biographical Sketch

Mike W. Peng received his PhD from the University of Washington. He holds the first ever Provost’s Distinguished Professorship at the University of Texas at Dallas. Prior to joining UTD, Dr. Peng was an associate professor at the Ohio State University. He has taught in five states in the United States, as well as China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. 

Professor Peng is widely regarded as one of the most prolific and most influential scholars in global strategy. Truly global in scope, his research focuses on firm strategies in regions such as Asia and Central and Eastern Europe, covering countries such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, and the United States. He has published over 40 articles in leading academic journals and authored three books, including, most recently, Global Strategy, which is the best-selling textbook in this field in the world. He is currently writing his fourth book, Global Business.

Professor Peng is active in leadership positions in his field. He will become Editor-in-Chief of the Asia Pacific Journal of Management  during 2007-09. He has served on the editorial boards of the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of International Business Studies, and Strategic Management Journal. At the Academy of Management, he is the Program Chair in charge of the Junior Faculty Consortium for the International Management Division for the Atlanta meetings (2006). At the Strategic Management Society, he is the first elected officer of the Global Strategy Interest Group, becoming Associate Program Chair in 2006 and progressing to become Program Chair in 2007.

Professor Peng is also an active faculty trainer and consultant. He has provided on-the-job training to over 70 professors. He has consulted for organizations such as BankOne, Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong Research Grants Council, National Science Foundation, Nationwide Insurance, Ohio Polymer Association, U.S.-China Business Council, and The World Bank. He has also published his work in leading practitioner journals such as the Harvard Business Review, Academy of Management Executive, and China Business Review.

Professor Peng’s high-impact, high-visibility research has attracted significant external funding, totaling more than half a million dollars. At present, his research is funded by a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Grant (formerly known as the Young Investigator Award). At $423,000, this is the single largest grant the NSF has awarded to a business school faculty member. He carried more than half of this five-year funding to UTD.
