Max H. Bazerman

[1] In their 2020 book The Power of Experiments, Bazerman and Michael Luca describe how technology companies and other organizations are increasingly relying on randomized control trials to test their ideas, generating both benefits and costs for society at large.

In 2021, a paper from 2012 written by Francesca Gino, Nina Mazar, Lisa L Shu, Dan Ariely, and Bazerman was discovered to be based on falsified data and was subsequently retracted.

Not only is it foundational, but coupled with the developmental aspects of instructional materials based on his research it has transformed the topic of negotiations into a near universal part of all MBA programs.

His work as a doctoral student advisor has also led to an extremely large number of important faculty at top institutions who evidence his commitment to excellence in scholarship, teaching, and service.

Add to it, his family tree of doctoral trainees is itself a “who’s-who” of influential management scholars.”[7] Bazerman's ethics research reveals the psychology underlying unethical behavior.

He was hired by the US Department of Justice to make recommendations about the penalties against the company and its senior executives under the assumption that the court had found Philip Morris guilty.

Bazerman was paid $800 an hour, which he decided to donate to an irrevocable charitable trust in an effort to negate any potential bias since he was employed by the Justice Department.
