Bio

Joe Broschak is a Professor of Management, Chair of the Management Department, and the Glenn and Ann Biggs Endowed Chair in Entrepreneurship at the University of Texas at San Antonio, Alvarez College of Business. He joined UTSA in July 2023 after 16 years at the University of Arizona where he was an Associate Professor of Management in the Eller College of Business, held a courtesy appointment in the School of Sociology, and formerly was Executive Director of the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship.  Dr. Broschak also spent 8 years as a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has a Ph.D. in Management from the University of Texas at Austin, an MBA from the Duke University Fuqua School of Business, and a B.S. degree in Petroleum Engineering from Penn State University.  Prior to his academic career Dr. Broschak spent nine years as a project drilling engineer for Shell Offshore Inc., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Petroleum.

Dr. Broschak’s research revolves around three topics in organization theory. One is the structure of organizations: the demographic composition of the workforce, the employment arrangements in which workers are employed, and the system of jobs and job titles that individuals hold.  A second is social capital and managerial mobility: the dynamics surrounding the formation and dissolution of inter-firm relationships, factors that influence patterns of men’s and women’s career mobility and the consequences of managerial mobility for individuals, organizations, and market relationships.  The last is the dynamics of markets: technological change in product markets, and the emergence, evolution, and change in labor markets for professionals.    

Throughout his career Dr. Broschak has taught classes on Designing and Managing Organizations, Human Resource Management, Managing Organizational Change, Strategy, and Entrepreneurship.  He has received multiple teaching awards from the University of Arizona Department of Management and Organizations and the Eller College Undergraduate programs for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching, and from the University of Illinois College of Business and College of Business Alumni Association for Excellence in Graduate Teaching.
