Biography
Aimée A. Kane is an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations at New York University Stern School of Business. Professor Kane holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Organizational Behavior and Theory from Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business (formally known as the Graduate School of Industrial Administration). She also holds a B.A. in Spanish and a Certificate in Markets and Management Studies from Duke University.

Professor Kane’s research focuses on the micro-underpinnings of organizational learning. Along with her colleagues, she investigates the effects of social and cognitive factors on the transfer of knowledge between groups via personnel transfer in National Science Foundation sponsored studies. In particular, she explores the process and conditions under which a superordinate social identity affects group receptivity to knowledge that varies in its demonstrability. The American Psychological Association Division 49 chose this work as a finalist in their group’s research dissertation competition. Her recent work investigates membership transfer and group learning, knowledge integration and creation across boundaries, and determinants of superordinate social identification.

Professor Kane became interested in understanding how to create and transfer organizational and group-level knowledge when she worked as an investment banker at Goldman, Sachs and Company. She has also worked in finance, marketing and sales at the General Electric Capital Company, Philip Morris and Unilever.
