Bio

For more than 30 years, Professor Moore has focused her research, consulting, and teaching on the leadership and advancement of women, diversity and inclusion management, as well as developing culturally competent leaders. Her articles have appeared in The Journal of Management Development, The Organizational Behavior Teaching Review, Personnel, The Journal of Behavioral and Applied Science, The New England Journal of Entrepreneurship, the South East Asia Journal of Management, and The CASE Journal, among others. She also has published numerous international and national conference proceedings papers, several book chapters and is the author of "Not as Far as You Think", an influential text that examines the evolution of theory and practice of women in management.

Professor Moore has been an active participant and national leader in academic and professional organizations committed to the understanding and advancement of women leaders. Moore was the founding consultant and acting director of the Radcliffe Public Policy Institute at Harvard University, Co-Director of the Institute for Women and Organizations, and Chair of the Women in Management Division of the Academy of Management.

Moore was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship for the 2007-2008 academic year at Zayed University in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. She taught leadership courses in the College of Business Sciences as well as conducted a research project on corporate women leaders in the United Arab Emirates.

Other areas of research and study include global and sustainable leadership, and the development of culturally sensitive and indigenous leadership models with particular emphasis on the role of gender. Moore has also written cases on women leaders and entrepreneurs with a culturally appropriate lens. Recently a focus on family business produced a ten volume Compendium on Global Family Business Models that analyzes the impact of culture on models of family business in ten regions of the world. Moore co-edited the compendium with specific attention to the Middle East and Southeast Asia regions and provided editorial leadership to produce the Gender and Family Owned Business volume. Her expertise on gender and diversity in management has also been recognized by many professional organizations; Moore has received three Coleman Foundation grants. These funds were used to study successful women business leaders in the United States, focusing on the role of cultural identity in leadership.

Moore is a pioneer in gender and leadership, global and cross-cultural research and curriculum development. Courses designed by Moore while at Simmons College include one of the first business school courses on women and leadership in the United States; an interdisciplinary graduate course on globalization and diversity and the School of Management's first study abroad course, which provided a cross cultural comparative analysis of women leaders. Students in this innovative course traveled to India and the United Arab Emirates to study women leaders in a context of cultural comparison. She teaches undergraduate, graduate, and executive courses focusing on diversity, gender, and cultural impacts on organizational behavior and leadership at Simmons College School of Management, Boston, MA. and is a faculty affiliate of the school's Center for Gender and Organizations .Professor Moore also teaches MBA courses on Gender and Leadership at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad.
