An overarching question motivates Dr. Kane's research: what enables people who are separated by group boundaries (e.g., organizational divisions) to learn from and collaborate effectively with one another? Her research takes an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on and contributing to literatures from the organizational sciences on group and organizational learning and from the psychological sciences on social identity and group socialization. In conducting this research, she employs various laboratory and field methodologies, including small group experiments, social network analysis, questionnaires, and interviews. Her research has been published in leading academic journals such as Academy of Management Annals, Organization Science, and Organizational Studies. She currently serves on the editorial board of Organization Science. In 2014 and in 2015 she received the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business Outstanding Research Award. Prior to joining Duquesne, Kane was an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations at New York University's Stern School of Business. She also previously worked for the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence at Carnegie Mellon University as a research associate and teaching consultant. Professor Kane became interested in understanding how to create and transfer knowledge when she worked as an investment banker at Goldman, Sachs and Company. She also worked as an intern in finance, marketing and sales at the General Electric Capital Company, Philip Morris and Unilever Mexico. She holds a Ph.D. and a M.S. in organizational behavior and theory from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University and a B.A. in Spanish, magna cum laude, and a certificate in markets and management studies from Duke University, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
