Ruth Beer​

​I am an Associate Professor of Operations and Decision Analytics (ODA) at the Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College, in the City University of New York. 

In my research, I use human-subject experiments and theoretical models to examine how behavioral forces shape operational decisions, with a focus on three interconnected domains: (1) supply chain management and buyer–supplier relations, (2) process design, collaboration, and workplace productivity, and (3) human–algorithm interaction and technology adoption. Across these domains, my work investigates how behavioral mechanisms interact with operational design and generates insights that help organizations structure communication, incentives, and technology in ways that strengthen collaboration, innovation, and overall performance.
​
Previous to joining the Zicklin faculty, I was a faculty member at the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University. ​I hold a PhD in Operations Management from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, an MBA from Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, and a degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Buenos Aires.
