On the Synergy between Research and Teaching

Victor Vroom provides a revealing and insightful account of a lifetime search for integrating his dual identities as researcher and teacher. He takes us through his early transitions from teaching in the psychology department at the University of Pennsylvania through his ten-year career at Carnegie to his current role at Yale School of Management. Is there a way in which one's teaching can aid research and one's research aid teaching? Vroom believes that he has now found such synergy and provides examples of his current work to illustrate how it came about.
