Professor Sridharan’s popular class, Corporate Political Strategy, teaches how businesses leverage information dynamics to manage the risks and opportunities presented by political systems. The class examines government regulation of industry, activist and public interest groups, the role of lobbying and campaign contributions in the policymaking process, ethical frameworks of corporate political strategy, and other related topics.
Professor Sridharan’s overall academic work focuses on the flow of information in capital markets. She is interested in understanding how innovations in financial markets affect the assessment of firm risk and resolution of investor uncertainty in the price discovery process. Her recent work investigates the role of information in assessing and mitigating firm risks arising from an increasingly polarized political system.
Her research has been featured in popular media, including The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Bloomberg News.
