Michael E. Sykuta

I am an Associate Professor in the Division of Applied Social Sciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia and Director of the Contracting and Organizations Research Institute (CORI). My research focuses on the organization and governance of economic enterprise, including the choice, design and structure of governance mechanisms and organizational forms. This research ranges from the economic structure of contracts to corporate governance and includes issues from law and economics and political economy.

I teach or have recently taught courses at the Ph.D. level on New Institutional Economics and the Economics of Industry Structure and Networks; at the MBA/MS level on the Economics of Transactions and Contracting, Managerial Economics, and Corporate Finance; and at the undergraduate level on Managerial Economics and Management Strategy. Prior to coming to Missouri, I taught at the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business and at Washington University.
