BioSketch Professor Tropman's research focuses on the organizational elements that create high-performing human service (and other) organizations. Topics of special interest are entrepreneurship, effective group decision making, the person of the executive (executive director, chief professional officer, or chief executive officer), the problem of executive burnout and flameout, and organizational rewards systems. Tropman is also interested in culture in general, and organizational culture in particular. His book, The Catholic Ethic in American Society, addresses this issue. Other areas of research/scholarly interest: social welfare policy; community organization; planning.
