Doug Guthrie is an American organizational sociologist and China scholar. He is a Senior Director and Apple University Faculty Member at Apple Inc. Prior to joining Apple, he served as dean at The George Washington University School of Business (GWSB) in Washington DC from 2010–13 and Vice President for University-Wide China Operations in 2013. Prior to joining GWSB, he was professor of management and sociology at New York University, holding joint appointments in the Stern School of Business and NYU’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. His areas of expertise lie in the fields of leadership and organizational change, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility, and economic reform in China. He has published widely in these fields, though he is probably best known for his work on China. He has taught as a visiting professor at Harvard Business School, INSEAD, and the Graduate Schools of Business at Stanford University, Columbia University, and Emory University. He was director of the Business Institutions Initiative (1999–2003) at the Social Science Research Council. He has also been deeply involved in executive education, previously holding positions as the director of Custom Executive Education at NYU-Stern and as the executive academic director of the Berlin School of Creative Leadership. Currently, he works with the Apple University team on organizational/talent/leadership development, focusing on China/APAC. He lives in Shanghai, China.
Guthrie was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1969, where he attended Franklin Regional and Taylor Allderdice High Schools. He received his AB Degree in East Asian Languages and Civilizations (concentration in Chinese literature) from the University of Chicago in 1992. During his time at Chicago, he left school for a year to study Mandarin in Taipei, Taiwan. Immediately following graduation from Chicago, he went on to study organizational and economic sociology at the University of California Berkeley under Neil Fligstein and Thomas Gold. A Social Science Research Council Grant allowed him to study in Berkeley’s Economics Department and then to go on to conduct his dissertation research in Shanghai. There he conducted a study of 81 factories in industrial Shanghai. His dissertation was awarded the American Sociological Association’s annual award for the best dissertation in the discipline (calendar year 1997) and eventually formed the basis for the book Dragon in a Three Piece Suit: The Emergence of Capitalism in China (Princeton 1999).
