THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - eTradeWire -- California Lutheran University School of Management professor Vlad Vaiman, Ph.D., has been awarded one of the most prestigious appointments offered to U.S. scholars: A 2025-26 Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Business and Economics.

Vaiman is the first Cal Lutheran School of Management professor to receive the award. He will spend a total of four months conducting research at the Hanken School of Economics in Finland, a leading global university with 115 years of experience in research and education in economics and business.

His research will explore the integration of General Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for managing human talent in workplaces and examine how GenAI alters power dynamics, affects employee well-being, team interactions and task delegation. It also will develop practical strategies for organizations, highlight human-centric approaches to foster effective collaboration and minimize disruptions to ensure GenAI enhances human talent, rather than replace it.
