About the ION Management Lab
The ION Management Science Lab is a groundbreaking collaboration between the ION Group and the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah. The Lab pioneers research in leadership, corporate strategy, organizational design, and pay transparency.
Our mission is clear: to advance management science through evidence-based experimentation and theory development. We empower business leaders and entrepreneurs with the tools to navigate complexity, foster sustainable growth, and create value.
Under the leadership of Dr. Todd Zenger, the lab is deeply rooted in collaboration—working alongside industry leaders and academics from institutions like Bocconi University in Milan. This global network allows us to produce insights that resonate across industries and geographies.
Our contributions are as diverse as they are impactful. From frameworks for strategic decision-making to studies on pay equity and transparency, we challenge boundaries and drive innovation.
