Dr. Delquié’s research and teaching are in decision analysis, a discipline to help individuals and organizations make decisions in situations involving risk, uncertainty, and incomplete information, and design resilient strategies to balance reward and risk. A hallmark of Delquié’s work is the blend of behavioral studies and analytical models to study the intuitive and rational basis of decision making. His research has focused on preference elicitation methods, individuals’ attitudes toward risk, real options and information to mitigate risks, and the measurement of risk. Delquié has expertise in applications of decision tools in innovation and technology management, life sciences, strategic planning, safety and compliance, and behavioral finance.
Prior to joining the GW School of Business in 2009, Delquié held faculty positions at INSEAD France, École Normale Supérieure de Cachan, Paris, Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, and the University of Texas at Austin. He has developed and taught seminars for executives in banking, finance, communication, hospitality, chemicals, life sciences and pharmaceuticals, among others. Delquié’s research has been published in leading scholarly reviews, including Management Science, the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and the European Journal of Operational Research. He has served as associate editor for the Decision Analysis journal.
