Biography

Steven F. Freeman is Resident Scholar and Affiliated Faculty, Organizational Dynamics. He is a prominent teacher of organizational resilience, entrepreneurship and innovation. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, he conducted a widely acclaimed study of how one of the firms hardest hit by the attacks staged a miraculous comeback through a combination of unyielding Moral Purpose and inspired opportunism. He has studied resilience and innovation in the US auto industry and wrote an award-winning dissertation (MIT 1998) on how and why North American automobile manufacturers were so slow to respond in the 1960s and 1970s to revolutionary Japanese advances in auto design and production.

More recently, he has become a leading expert on Employee Ownership. His work served as the centerpiece of a groundbreaking gathering of leading employee ownership scholars, advocates and practitioners held at the University of Pennsylvania in May 2008.

He has also published extensively on election fraud and is a prominent national speaker on the crisis in democracy in the US. He is the lead author of the groundbreaking, highly praised book, Was the 2004 Presidential Election Stolen? Exit Polls, Election Fraud, and the Official Count. He has presented findings demonstrating large scale US election fraud to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Association of Public Opinion Research, and the American Statistical Association as well as the National Hispanic Congreso, the Free Press National Media Reform Conference and the United States Congress. In 2004, he founded Election Integrity (EI), a non-partisan organization established to verify vote counts and expose election fraud, including fraudulent machine counts, media exit poll manipulation, and anti-trust collusive behavior in US election processes. EI conducted the first Election Verification Exit Poll (EVEP) in the 2006 US congressional elections, and will be conducting an EVEP in November 2008.

Freeman holds a Ph.D. from MIT’s Sloan School of Management and an M.S. in Social System Science from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. He has taught on the faculty at the Wharton School and at the Universidad de San Andreas in Argentina and the Central American Institute of Business Administration (INCAE) in Costa Rica, where he conducted management courses for a full spectrum of private and public sector leaders. He has won four national research awards for outstanding scholarship from the Academy of Management and has conducted workshops for faculty on research methods throughout North and South America. He also received an award from Sonoma (California) State University’s Project Censored for his analyses documenting evidence of US election fraud.

In addition to his regular courses on innovation and resilience, he teaches workshops for graduate students on conducting and writing about research.
