Anastasiya Zavyalova to join Rice Business leadership team
Anastasiya (Annie) Zavyalova, associate professor of strategic management, will be joining the Rice Business leadership team as the new associate dean for degree programs. In her new role, Zavyalova will work closely with James Weston, our senior associate dean, with a particular focus on overseeing the Professional Evening and Weekend Programs, as well as the Hybrid MBA.
Zavyalova brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this position. In addition to her roles at Rice Business, she is an International Research Fellow at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation and serves as an associate editor at the Academy of Management Review. Annie’s research delves into socially responsible and irresponsible organizational actions, particularly in how these actions impact social approval assets like reputation and celebrity.
We are excited about the future with Dr. Zavyalova on our leadership team!
