Suho Han is an assistant professor of entrepreneurship at the Whitman School of Management. His research broadly aims to explore and build theory around the complex social processes that unfold as young organizations navigate complex environments, use unconventional structures, mobilize resources, and evolve over time. He aims to understand these processes in varied organizational contexts (e.g., entrepreneurial firms, investor groups) using in-depth field access through rich qualitative data (interviews, direct observations; case method).

He holds a Ph.D. in strategic management and entrepreneurship from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin and a M.A. and a B.S. in economics from Indiana University (Indianapolis) and the University of Washington, respectively.

He currently serves on the editorial review board of the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal and regularly reviews for several journals that include Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Business Venturing, Organization Science, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, and Strategic Management Journal.

Outside academia, he helps advise the Angel Capital Association (ACA) and a healthcare startup.
Dr. Han's current teaching interests include entrepreneurship, startup growth processes, strategy in new ventures, and qualitative methods. At the Whitman School of Management, he has taught Introduction to Entrepreneurship (EEE370) and Strategic and Entrepreneurial Management (EEE457).
Dr. Han's current research projects broadly explore two themes: (1) how young organizations navigate their environments and manage key resource provider relationships as they mobilize resources and evolve, and (2) how unconventional organizational forms organize and change. A third research stream seeks to build best practices around qualitative methodology (e.g., multiple, single case studies).
