Prof. Dr. Alice J. Lee

Alice Lee is an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior in the ILR School at Cornell University in Ithaca NY. As an enthusiastic researcher and lecturer, specializing in areas such as negotiations and social processes, she contributes to our scientific foundation.

Her research explores the dynamics of social influence, where one person makes an overture toward another in the hopes of achieving a particular economic or subjective outcome, such as asking a colleague for help or seeking a concession from a negotiation counterpart. Her focus goes beyond the objective outcomes to understand the social gains and losses that emerge from an influence attempt in negotiations, including its effects on long-term relationships and reputations.

She is deeply passionate about pursuing research and sharing knowledge on negotiations. She teaches various courses on this subject at both the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels at Cornell University and is a member of the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution.
