Profile

Full Bio

Juan Francisco Chavez Ramirez is an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Organizations at the Smith School of Business, Queen's University.

Juan Francisco’s research and teaching interests are situated at the intersection of sustainability, strategic management, and organizational theory. His primary focus revolves around the question of how businesses can create value, for both the organization and its stakeholders, in diverse and pluralistic contexts.
Currently, Juan Francisco is engaged in research projects that aim to gain a deeper understanding of the processes by which social and environmental concerns become integrated into the institutional landscape that organizations navigate. He also investigates how business organizations respond to these concerns.
Juan Francisco received his PhD from the Gustavson School of Business, at the University of Victoria. Before pursuing his doctorate, he worked for several years in various public and private organizations in leadership and consulting roles. He received his bachelor’s degree in social sciences from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru and his master’s degree in development studies from the Institute of Social Studies - Erasmus Rotterdam University.
