Evan Polman joined the Stern School of Business as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations in September 2010. He teaches "Management and Organizational Analysis."

Professor Polman's research interests include social cognition and decision making; in particular, he studies how judgments, decisions, and behaviors people make or enact themselves differ from the decisions, judgments, and behaviors that people make or enact on behalf of others. His work in this area has received the Hillel Einhorn New Investigator Award for best paper in judgment and decision making by a new researcher (awarded by the Society for Judgment and Decision Making), as well a nomination for the William H. Newman Award for best paper based on a dissertation (nominated by the Academy of Management). His research has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and is published in Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, and Social Cognition.

Professor Polman received a B.Com from McMaster University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior from Cornell University.
