Wayne Eastman

Professor Eastman has published articles in business ethics, management, and law journals.  His academic research program focuses on how emotions in the form of social preferences such as altruism, shame, and competitiveness combine with concern for the self, and on how that combination of social preferences and self-regarding preferences works well or fails to work well in business, law, and politics.  Particular focuses of his academic work are altruistic leadership, value diversity, and the positive and negative features of ideological thought and feeling.  

Professor Eastman also has an active applied research program that aligns with his administrative activities as vice chair of the SCMMS Department and with his civic commitments as a member of the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education.  His applied research focuses on supply chain management and public policy, social marketing, and reforming government.  He is director of the SCMMS Africa Supply Chain Initiative and has testified multiple times in Trenton on education reform.
